STOCKHOLM, Nov 14 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — Today, the Swedes have officially become smoke-free. Smoking prevalence across the country reduced to 5.3%. Remarkably, among those who have been benefited from Swedish policies during their entire life, it reduced to 4.5%. People from other countries in Europe who have moved to Sweden would be three times more likely to smoke if they had not moved (24%¹ vs 7.8%).
Quit Like Sweden, a platform dedicated to sharing the “Swedish Experience,” is celebrating this milestone with calls for other nations to improve millions of lives around the world.
