Sweden, the fifth largest country in the Europe, has become the first country in the world to go smoke free.

Sweden officially became the world’s first smoke-free country on November 13.

The number of smokers in Europe is 24 per cent, which is 5 times higher than in Sweden.

Volunteers working to prevent the harms of smoking say that the secret to Sweden’s success in getting rid of smoking is the government’s excellent policy on safe alternatives to cigarettes.

Sweden’s smoke-free initiative is a major development in the public health sector, which demonstrates Sweden’s commitment to implementing positive tobacco control policies, says Dylan Humann, leader of Sweden’s Tobacco Free Association. does

He said that in the 1960s, with more than half of Sweden’s men smoking, the government introduced regulations to prevent the use of nicotine, vape and other tobacco products and to protect public health.

“Sweden’s achievement of becoming smoke-free is a ray of hope for the world and an inspiring proof that actionable and enlightened thinking can bring about beneficial results in the public health sector and save lives,” Dylan Human said.
