Why No One Smokes In Sweden
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- As governments around the world strive to reduce smoking rates, Sweden has become a controversial case study in how best to do so. As of 2022, only 5.6% of the population still smoked. That’s the lowest percentage in Europe. Many give credit to snus, small nicotine-filled pouches placed under the lip. Snus makers say they’re safer than cigarettes. But policymakers and health advocates are divided over their use.

I started snussing to quit smoking, now im smoking and snussing, im fucked
That's what I'm afraid of. Tried vaping to quit, ended up doing both, a lot. I still might try pouches again. Definitely cheaper.
@@samhblack then you'll have three
@@samhblack bro unfortunately you dont have enough self control to try and reduce your tobacco use. The same way i stopped weed for almost 10 years now you have to quit it out your life completely
😂🎉😅
@@jordanhtiffirg1990 I smoke that too. I did 15 yrs in state, been out 11 yrs. Now I have a family and I'm doing well. I have a lot of habits to help me cope? Dunno. How'd you stop weed? How bad did it suck?
The point of the debate is this:
In a perfect world no one would ever use substances that are addictive. But we do not live in a perfect world.
For some reason, humans love the kick of nicotine. So why not give people the least harmful way of consuming it?
If cigarettes would be erased, and snus took its place, it would literally save MILLIONS of lives every year.
You couldn’t explain it better, damn that was good
sugar its adictive,cafeine its adictive,salt its adictive...
When you have something more convenient to consume, it attracts more people. When you have one addiction it is easier for you to get another one. But I agree, this stuff is much better to have in the world than cigarettes.
Ciggarette and medical companies earn too much to make it safer
bruh snus is also super harmful, I think even vaping is better
This is like me replacing Instagram with a crippling youtube shorts addiction
Omg my life since quitting social media i replaced it with this platform😅there are studies of this

I was searching for this comment
@@marvairoy There is one more product called "cool lips"
Not the same thing. Those are ones with tabacco in it. The ones more popular nowadays in europe are ones without any tobacco. Just nicotine.
@@ashonline77 The Snus in Sweden have Tabaco watch the video again. There is a difference between Snus and Nic Pouches. But the common one in Sweden is Snus.
They have both but this guy was right for bringing up what the ones in India are called since that's what this video was mostly about the Snus.
@@thek838 Yeah lol I left that comment half asleep tbh. You're right the video is talking more about the tobacco product but it is true that in Europe nowadays nicotine pouches are more popular than snus. In India though it's mostly snus that people use.
I prefer my nicotine delivered by IV drip.
lmao
Try suppositories. They hit just as quick and make your farts smell like mint
same but weed
But when i prefer my heroin by IV drip i’m “asked to leave the qt”
straight to the vein
Felt much like a commercial. Not much information on the downside of the product.
Indeed. I saw a French documentary about the downsides, it ain’t pretty.
I mean, aren't the downsides obvious? You'll get cancer, just like with cigarettes, but you won't have to inhale smoke, making it not quite as damaging.
They did mention high blood pressure and heightened risk of cardiovascular disease. Do you just see and hear what you want to see and hear?
@@hansmemling2311 can you link the documentary?

I'm so fkng blessed that I quit tobacco and alcohol
like five years or so
nothing on my back
only thing that determines my happiness is how much sleep i got last night

I Get my nicotine with pottatoes
i used pouches to quit a crippling vape addiction that i had for years. i haven’t bought a vape in 5 months and never going back. meanwhile, my government is banning nicotine pouches (i still have a way to get them), how fucked up is that? cigarettes and vapes are okay, but nicotine pouches aren’t. its unreal.
I had no problems to quit smoking. But stopping with the snus is DAMN hard.
Zyn helped me quit vaping , 3 weeks later I still had cravings for vape
For me it was actually vice versa. Quitting smoking was much harder and it has a scientific explanation: when you smoke it hits fast and strong which makes the dopamine spike much higher. This makes you crave more.
it's kinda opposite for me. Zyn was easy to quit but smoking is harder
"I am kinda STUCK"
Stuck is such a beautiful word for addicted, I will use that
I've always compared addiction to an itch. The substance does the scratching. It's almost impossible to ignore, like a mosquito bite.
of course, the substance is also the mosquito.
Doesn’t change the fact its an addiction tho..
lol yeah, I’m not addicted to heroine I’m just stuck lmao
In India, we call this 'Khaini'. It is predominant here especially common within rural and labour class people.
Khaini is chewing tobacco so it differs from snus.
@@MrBhakundosome brands package it in a similar way. So it’s the same.

You should have added a segment on what dentists think. Spoiler alert: dont use that.
You shouldn’t be smoking to begin with lmao so yeah no shit
well they also tell you not to eat sugar. as long as you brush your teeth you're fine.
@@MrLdemo nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, reducing blood flow to the gums. Brushing your teeth won't alleviate the damage done by snus usage. It causes gum recession over time.
@@RamsaaaaYou will die from heart disease or old age before you have any oral problems by doing snus.
@@Ramsaaaa You are right in what you say, but the majority of those who use snus include tobacco, the new generation of snus that excludes tobacco certainly does not have as much impact. Of course it causes problems for the gums, but not to the same extent as smoking and snus.
The best thing about it is that it doesn't affect anyone else. Snus might be harmful, but it's not harmful to or bothering those around you.
Exactly smoking and vaping annoys and effects the people around you. Snus doesn't
You always gonna bring something with you to spit in?
@@madcow1998 you can swallow snus
I found out about snus about 16 years ago and used it to quit smoking cigarettes. I was able to make the transition in one day with no issues whatsoever. Haven't smoked a single cigarette since that day. Of course, I have been addicted to snus ever since, and use it every day. My dentist has never been a fan of my snus usage, but admits that it doesn't seem to be causing any dental issues.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Can you help with the reliable source I would really appreciate it. Many people talk about mushrooms and psychedelics but nobody talks about where to get them. Very hard to get a reliable source here in Australia. Really need!
Yes, dr.sporessss I have the same experience with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction and Mushrooms definitely made a huge huge difference to why am clean today.
Is he on instagram?
Yes he is. dr.sporessss
Can Dr. sporessss send to me in UK?
Snus causes less cancer but you can contantly have it under your lip thruout the entire day, causing an even more intense nicotine addiction. Also there's acid in the pouches that dissolve part of the inside of your mouth so the nicotine can get into your blood stream faster. The acid is (suprisungly) not good for your teeth. I'm swedish and when I was 16 three years ago pretty much all of my classmates were using tocacco free snus (it was legal for ages 16 and up). A few years later a lot of them couldn't even go a week without it and if they succeded they celebrated with more snus. They even got part time jobs to fund their habits. Still better than cigarettes I guess
a week lmao? im on the verge of putting a fist thru the wall after 1.5 hrs. baked a snus while writing this comment.
I mean selling addicting substances to teen sure is a genius move
Might as well be smoking weed at that point.
@@marlonwoods4242 yeah why not, but it doesn't really quench that nicotine withdrawal tho
@@marlonwoods4242What a stupid comment. Nicotine is far worse for you then marijuana, if most of these people ONLY did weed, they wouldn't have many issues other than the munchies and possibly some laziness. Stop vilifying weed, it's the only good drug we have.
I used snus to quit smoking 10 years ago. I absolutely loved it, personally I found it incredibly addictive. It kept me calm and feeling relaxed. I would crave the feeling it gave me constantly. to this day I still find myself wanting to buy a tin, just thinking about it now I’m half tempted to buy some.
weak
Buy it now
Used snus to quit smoking and smoked cigarettes to quit snus. Got hooked on both for quite some times.
@@SBR-x2x I quit vaping a few months ago though it was gonna be hard as fk, was the easiest thing ever. was smoking and vaping for about 10 years before never quit or even tried really.
I'm the same with niccorette gum
I was a smoker for 30 years, hated it and tried every way of quitting known to man but none of them stuck.I’ve been on pouches for 18 months now and I feel (and smell) much better for it. I’m also not a mobile health hazards to those around me. Sure, I’ve replaced one addiction for another but with so many pluses, so what? If they ban pouches I’ll be back on the cigarettes and there must be huge numbers like me, so why would they do it?
I do this every day. I quit drinking coffee. I lost 50 pounds and don’t eat a lot of bad food work out and keep myself busy.
Imagine the bad guy in a movie putting snus under his lip
Lol
It's in Indian movies already.

"Sweden low smoking rates is due to restrictions emplaced in the 90s" - That is a blatant lie!
The statement that Sweden's low smoking rates are due to restrictions implemented in the 90s is not entirely accurate. While it's true that Sweden implemented comprehensive tobacco control regulations in the 1990s, including the Swedish Tobacco Act in 1993 that banned smoking in public transport and public indoor places[4], the decline in smoking rates in Sweden began even before these regulations were put in place[4][7].
Moreover, the low smoking rates in Sweden are not solely due to these restrictions. The use of snus, a smokeless tobacco product, is prevalent in Sweden and is thought to have contributed to the low rates of cigarette smoking[1][9]. Snus has been legally sold in Sweden since 1976 and is used as an alternative to cigarettes[10].
Furthermore, the decline in smoking rates in Sweden has been a continuous trend over time, rather than a sudden drop following the implementation of restrictions[1]. Therefore, it's more accurate to say that the low smoking rates in Sweden are due to a combination of factors, including tobacco control regulations, the prevalence of snus use, and broader societal trends.

How TF are parents suppose to do anything when nicotine was originally advertised for "real men" then "real adults" that made most adults nowadays ADDICTED TO SOME FORM OF NICOTINE! Most parents do nicotine in some way, they don't even think kids may look up to them. And so the circle keeps on spinning. Until government bans nicotine & alcohol ALL TOGETHER - FOREVER!
I went from Cigs to snus to straight up quitting finally. Still get the craving occasionally but those pouches helped me finally quit the god damn smoking habit. I see a lot of comments saying "but mouth cancer" no shit sherlock literally everybody knows that its like when you tell a smoker they're gonna get lung cancer they fucking know
Edit: Every reply is telling me that there's research that says you cant get mouth cancer so its probably true. I'm personally still not gonna use again but hey if you want to go for it.
Yeah, it’s bad enough when people feel the need to tell others who are addicted to dangerous substances things that they obviously already know, but the amount of people who fear monger about using snus, vapes, etc. as a harm reduction alternative to smoking is a whole other level of ignorance imo. It’s like if you went to the local needle exchange to tell all the opioid addicts “y’know that stuff can kill you, right?”, like, would you rather they die from untreated needle-borne diseases like hep-c or overdosing because they didn’t have any Narcan, instead of taking steps that might help them live long enough to actually get treatment? It’s like they’d rather have the smug satisfaction of being “correct”, instead of just letting people use incremental, common sense approaches that will most likely benefit them in the long run.
False. Snus used to have labels on the cans that said that it may cause cancer, but it had to be removed because there's no proof of that claim. Now the warning label says that snus includes nicotine and is highly addictive, which is true.
Good hygiene = no mouth disease
Same here. I switched six months ago, after smoking for 30 years (since my early teens). It's not ideal, but I bet the risks with snus are magnitudes lower. Also, waaay cheaper! Especially if you get the "DIY snus" bags.
@@pistolen87 snusing constantly corrodes your gums, that in itself increases odds for cancer.
I met some Swedes in Dubai and one offered me whatever that is. I told him I'm good then he started encouraging me to be more "drug positive." 😂
I hate to be a negative nancy, but nicotine harms your blood vessels and nervous system as well. That being said, it's still better than smoking.
i have been snussing for a long time. it genuinely helps me with stress, anxiety but I wouldn't wish this addiction upon anyone.
I quit smoking cigarettes almost 10 years ago and apart of me misses that buzz you get from the first one but i wanted to save my lungs and my money , this talk about snus and even ZYNs being “not as bad as cigarettes “ had me curious but everything I read about it people say don’t do it if you aren’t addicted already
@@Neptune8 I'm really proud of you cause you stopped smoking it takes a lot of courage. snus is also bad for the health especially for the heart and it's very unhygienic and makes you have a really bad breathe.
it helps you because each time you take another snus your withdrawel symptoms stop

@@builder481 I had never read anything about the bad breath
Why do governments think of banning something like pouches? Even banning vaping altogether is a bad idea, but at least the potential for more unrecognized risks is higher. Nicotine pouches are more similar to things like patches and gum, which, as far as I know nobody's thinking of trying to ban, although restrictions wouldn't surprise me.
Because of tobacco companys
I would blame this to the us and UK on how ruined tobacco image permanently
@@jhon-cg4rgbut those very same tobacco companies own snus and tobacco-free nicotine pouches in the US. So it’s not due to them

Billions of dollars in tax..
Almost only immigrants smoke in Sweden. It is a great tell, if you are smoking you are likely on the lower end of payment and social ladder.
Snus is not only in packages, traditional snus is pure loose tobacco.
the loose is nasty tho
" if you are smoking you are likely on the lower end of payment and social ladder"

15% used snus? Im not sure if its a class issue but almost everyone i know uses snus, including myself. I quit smoking about 7 years ago and started using snus instead. The addiction is very strong, periods when i stopped using snus i couldnt sleep and was constantly cold-sweatting. Way better than smoking tho, i can run and crosscountry ski and my cardio is good even tho im a tobacco abuser. Snus should be used as a way to quit smoking, the benefits of using snus are not outweighting the downsides most of the time. Its also an economic question, i spend about 1000kr/month or 100ish euro/month on snus wich is not to high, i know people that spend 2-4 times that per month.
Its more than 15%. I dont know where they got the information. Last time i checkee over 65% of men used snus.
@@lmao2351 No way 65 percent uses snus. I think 15 percent sounds pretty accurate. Only a few of the people I know use it.

Rural and working class people probably use more than academics and big city dwellers.

In eastern Oregon logging country all dip tobacco is referred to as "snoose" by the locals. That is legacy of the Swedish loggers who arrived here in the late 19th century.
The worst thing about white snus is the addiction. Once you’re addicted to snus your body does not want snus to feel good. It wants snus to feel normal and that level or normal is lower than a non user at their normal mood. Basically you’re making yourself feel like shit voluntarily. I stopped abusing a year ago and it’s worth it
We have used "snus" for 300 years. Cigarette companies made sure it became illigal elsewhere in the world to eliminate competition. Zyn gowever is new since it doesn't use tobacco a therefor work under other regulations
I met a guy that had a hole from putting this on his gums, way before pavkets. Said his dad had one as well and it was comfortable to pack it in.

So basically, Stop Smoking but become a Nicotine Addict. Wise 😂
Well I mean nicotine is relatively safe if you aren’t Inhaling smoke or vapor. Especially in these little packets. It’s not good either way but ingesting nicotine is far better than any form of inhaling it could ever be.
No, switch to a better and safer way to consume nicotine, and btw if you're a smoker you are also a nicotine addict
If you're smoking you're already a nicotine addict.
Better to simply be a nicotine addict without all the carcinogens then a nicotine addict with 🤷♂️
Stop smoking and move over to snus, which is far healthier in pretty much every way. Snus shouldn't be consumed by people who aren't addicted to nicotine, but the ones that already are should move over.

Here in India every of our smoking cigarette is taxed at 100 to 150℅!!!
American here,
I use juicehead pouches. It's synthetic nicotine. I love the blueberry lemonade mint.. I haven't smoked or vaped in about 5 years. I get 20 pouches for $1.99 at the store I go to.. I was spending $20 a week on vape stuff and cigarettes at some point so this is a cheap alternative and it does the job and I guess it's a lot safer maybe..better than vaping and smoking for sure... Definitely a reduced risk product.
nicotine pouches helped me quit smoking smoked for 10 years
Was that really a Phillip Morris CEO (2:31) saying he wanted to see cigarettes disappear?? Or am I having an LSD flashback?
Not gonna lie I didn't listen but if he did say so then he sayd bs and if he didn't say so then try to take a break from LSD
High, high taxes on cigarettes. Going the same way in Canada. Unless you buy on the reserve or something, being a smoker is getting to be very expensive here. As a former smoker I wasn't happy, but maybe it's the right approach. It's certainly provided me with extra incentive to finally quit the cancer sticks.
If you don't smoke, don't start.
We dont have very high taxes on cigarettes in Sweden. A 20 pack costs around 60-80SEK (~6-8euro) which is pretty average. France and UK stick out with way higher cigarette taxes.

If it has lower risk, it should be a viable replacement for smoke, but people do need to know that it is addicitive and has some lesser health hazard.

Nobody talks about the heart risks of snus. Causes increase in heart rate and blood pressure, long term heart attack risk…
Yet there is no evidence it increases the risks of cardiovascular diseases more than perhaps a tiny amount, if you have some data that shows something else feel free to share.
@@davidgustafsson6496 Nicotine alone is a stimulant with proven cardiotoxic effects.. sorry but there is more than enough evidence for that.
It increases cardiac work, through constriction of blood vessels.

It WAS mentioned in the video. Did you even watch?

I thought the same, and bigger shock was why they put it back in the box and put it in the mouth again 🤣 I was like wtf!!! Later I realized the container has other compartment for used ones 😅
Only Sweden sells real snus. Everyone else has nicotine pouches. You can't buy real snus outside of Sweden.
Try it
Tea bag 😂😂😂 is it that much big
Hurray for the Swedish Experience of snus that has helped make smoking obsolete!
In India🇮🇳, we call this Khaini.
Some companies, like ‘Chaini Khaini’ and ‘Cool Lip,’ sell this type of product.
It is especially popular among labor-class people.
Take that Indonesia! No seriously, take it, It's safer than cigarettes.
In India, people been using this “nicotine pouch” under their lips while smoking cigarettes 😂
In Alabama they use chew nicotine while drinking gasoline and mountain dew.
I've been badly addicted to vaping since 2016 and it's thanks to nicotine pouches that I've finally been able to quit. I don't even crave vaping at all anymore because I enjoy nicotine pouches way more and I never thought I would find an alternative that I would enjoy more than vaping and make me quit vaping because I have tried so many different types of nicotine replacement therapy. I don't know why the EU would want to ban a really good form of harm reduction. This is why I'm glad Brexit happened.
Because cigarette companies got lobbyists
The only problem... Its false statistics. Lots of people smoke in Sweden, pretty much all of the immigrants smoke. And that group alone is way more than five percent.
COUGH COUGH
Its actually not relaxing.. its a stimulant.
The only thing that relaxes you is the addiction being taken care off
I've smoked, cigarettes, cigars, and pipes. I never had an issue putting either down. But the snus is way more potent and addictive. You get a higher head rush, and better ability to focus than smoking too. And you don't smell like a chimney everywhere you go so there's that. It's like a few cups of coffee in the morning, is the best way to explain it. But I still worry about the long-term risk of cancer. If you don't have to do it, don't.
Ive been snussing for a bit while now, probably cause my grandad snus (lös) and my dad tho. Helps with stress, gives you a lot of energy at some point and its cheap and doesnt bother anyone around you, thats the best thing of snus, anywhere anytime.
If you don't snus?
you loose
You win
There is still tons of cigarette smoke everywhere, especially rude people at bus stops
How exactly are they rude?
@@incumbentvinyl9291They are smoking in the face of others in a place they are not allowed to smoke
haha, you use the bus? Plebs
@@bobkinschuypers9911 They use your mom too. On the bus
@@mrk5579 jokes on them, my mom has aids
Love this idea not blowing smoke to others around them!
While it's not accurate to say that no one smokes in Sweden, generally smoking is less common, and you spend money on both smoking and other expenses.
i saw it in Bloomberg orignal why Bloomberg re-upload same stuffs again and again
Prob has stocks in some snus companies
more views - more money
The Problem is Both are very Bad for Health. I was a professionell Baseball Player and we use to take this Kind of tobacco every Day . I am not shure if Mouthcancer ist better than lungcancer

100% swedish citizen .... 🦍
LMAO Det er det samme her i Norge også, vi blir invadert uten å være klar over det. Svarte mennesker må dra hjem igjen.
lol
CITIZEN, yes.
@@francisdec1615 *Sarcasm*
@@nostro1940 I understand that, but a better point would be to call her "a real Swede" or similar.
I'm from india and i use this kind of tobacco. I quit smoking
I was listening intently until they mention Philip Morris. The real culprit.
DAAAAAM chewing tobacco is going to the next level 😂😆
Lung cancer down,.. mouth cancer up!!
No, not really
It’s not good it’s goes right to your Blood and very addictive I lived in Sweden.
Börja snusa
bro smoking goes straight into your blood also. New snus usually has only nicotine extract without any carcinogenic additives. Nicotine isn't harmful in itself unless you suffer from autoimmune diseases
Wrong! Nicotine is harmful to the heart/cardiovascular system. Increases heart rate and blood pressure, its a stimulant. Puts strain on your heart.
Phillip Morris pays off the government with the huge taxes on cigarettes ofcourse they gonna ban snuz and nicotine pouches in most of europe 🤷🏻♂️
I used to smoke 2 PACKS a day, I quit then vaped for years.
Now I'm completely vape and smoke free for a year now. If I can do it, yall can do it if you really want to.
"Why No One Smokes In Sweden"
Literally 45s into the video: "...5.6% of Sweeds smoke"
😐
lowest of all europe tho
Are you suggesting that a country can only be considered smokeless if 0% smoke?
@@PingSharp yea good point right, it's ooooonly like 600,000 people so basically the same as saying no one does it
@@Carrosive These 5-6% are never going to go away, it is a type of baseline.
With that logic, you could say that everyone is always sick. Because the common cold, and even less dangerous diseases will always exist. "Have you really recovered from pneumonia though? There are still 400 trillion viruses in your body"
@@PingSharp lmao no, if you want to use a health analogy, I guess nobody ever gets the flu because it only effects a small percentage of the population? Infections are pretty baseline and a small percentage of the overall population so let's just say nobody ever gets it
If you Snuss you Lose....
If you Zyn you Win.
Is there a study if this will lead to oral cancer? 🤔
yea cause there's no tobacco in it. It's no different then sucking on a nicotine losange or niccorte from walmart or drug store
Studies are inconclusive. Some find correlation, others don't. If there were notable adverse health effects you'd think they would find it after looking for 40 years. Nobody should start using it but it's undoubtedly healthier than smoking.
then why should nobody start using @@hybridwafer
No, but cardiovascular disease
No, studies are often inconclusive, and a few of the studies that was used ages ago to push back against snus had smokers in the test group as well as not researching specifically swedish snus (which is produced and created very differently from e.g what americans would call snus). It's the number 1 reason why snus isn't labeled as "deadly" but merely harmful.
As for cancer rates, sweden has one of the lower oral cancer rates in europe despite all the snus that's consumed. And it's not like it's a new product either, it's been around since the early 1800's.
changed from smoking to nicotine pouches 12 mg, literally my well being doubled after that
😂😂 in india its called khaini 😂😂
Can't believe it has spreading in Europe also
No man, I don't think you can say it is taken from India. Snus itself in pouches i think is quite swedish itself, then of course you have pouchless snus, (which also exist) but i think that was taken/inspired from french back in the day. Then of course you can go beyond that and figure out who were the first ones to use tobacco this way.
??? My aunt from Lund smokes a pack a day.
try 2 packs of 30s , Chesterfield plain
BMA
Not Good!!!
Wow, went to Sweden about 11 yrs ago, was surprised how many women smoked.
Raw snus also works well and quite commonly used in India
Did you do this entire report without asking a single smoker in Sweden if they smoke?
This is indian equivalent of "खैनी" Indians have been consuming since centuries.
