Are nicotine pouches healthier than smoking?
There is ample evidence that nicotine pouches and snus are a better alternative to smoking. Along with snus, nicotine pouches originate from Sweden. In Sweden these smokeless products are used by approximately 20% of the Swedish adult population. According to data from Eurobarometer, Sweden has the lowest prevalence of cigarette use in the European Union (only 5% as compared to roughly 15% in the UK). In addition data from the World Health Organisation (WHO) show that Sweden has the lowest rate of tobacco related mortality and that amongst men they have the lowest incidence of lung cancer.
