Over the next few months, the smoking rate in Sweden will drop to below 5%, which by commonly used definitions, will make the country "smoke-free".
A report released today provides a detailed overview of Sweden's approach to tobacco control, which combines both tobacco control measures and a harm reduction strategy.
One of the authors of the report, Anders Milton, stated that "quitting smoking like Sweden does can save lives," with over 3,400 lives being saved annually in Sweden alone. If all other European Union countries were to adopt similar measures, over three and a half million lives could be saved within the next decade.
