A recent study on school health promotion found that as many as 43% of students in grades 10-12 and 67% of vocational school students have used tobacco products at least once during 2021. This highlights the increasing popularity of nasal snuff. Researchers were unsurprised to discover that the most common way for children to be exposed to tobacco products is through friends, with at least one-third of teenagers obtaining these products through social media channels.
As a result, the Health and Welfare Institute (THL) is urging parents to closely monitor their children's social media activity because online platforms make it easier for young people to purchase tobacco products.
Reduce smoking rates.
Meanwhile, a recent report from THL investigated cigarette use (which remains the primary tobacco type consumed in Finland), smokeless tobacco, and e-cigarettes from 2000 to 2019. The report showed a decrease in cigarette and e-cigarette use, and an increase in smokeless tobacco consumption.
A report has revealed that smoking rates among men have decreased since the 1960s, while rates among women have seen a decline since the 2000s. In 2018, 14% of the population aged 20-64 smoked daily, with every educational group showing a decrease in smoking. It is encouraging to note that smoking during pregnancy has also decreased, with 11% of pregnant women smoking during the first three months of pregnancy in 2018.
