The Swedish way to become smoke-free is however closed to all other European countries as snus which is used as an alternative is illegal everywhere else. Also they just traded one way of nicotine administration against another, though I do think it’s less harmful, but I’m not a medical professional.
So not as incredible as this headline makes it sound
There are nicotine pouches that’s not currently banned in all EU counties which is the same thing for all practical purposes. I believe France banned them in February though.
However, there’s a discussion on the effectiveness on those pouches as a means of quitting cigarettes , since the reduction in smoking by women (who traditionally don’t use snus) seems to have happened before the nicotine pouches were introduced.
This is a Snus vending machine within a Swedish grocery store, I took the picture last week. Good that they are smoke-free, but they are not at all nicotine-free
