Snus does not save lives: quitting smoking does!

摘要

Tobacco smoking is steadily declining in Scandinavia, but just under four million people in the Nordic countries are still stuck in the habit of daily smoking, which causes sickness and suffering and takes years from their lives at great cost to the smokers themselves, to their employers and to society at large. Acceptance of exposure to second-hand smoke is increasingly on the wane and the number of smoke-free environments has increased since the successful introduction of mandatory smoke-free workplaces and restaurants in Scandinavia.
