The Swedish Experience
The risk of a man dying from a tobacco-related illness is less in Sweden than in any other European country, although tobacco consumption is on a comparable level with that of other countries in Europe. Researchers refer to this paradox as “the Swedish Experience”.
It is most likely that the Swedish Experience can be explained by the unique form of tobacco use among Swedish men, which largely takes the form of snus. Total tobacco consumption is about equal in comparable countries, but Swedish men smoke substantially less. The proportion of daily smokers is currently 10 percent among men, the lowest in Europe. To this must be added that 18 percent of men use snus. Thus, the use of snus among Swedish men is more common than smoking.
The positive effect of this phenomenon is a very low frequency of tobacco-related illnesses among Swedish men and low smoking-related mortality rates. This unique situation is documented in a large number of epidemiological studies, which, inter alia, note that Sweden shows the lowest risk of lung cancer among industrial countries. Although the use of snus is not without negative health effects, research results have shown that health risks are substantially lower for the use of snus compared with smoking.
