Sweden Reduces Tax on Snus by 20% and Accelerates Progress Towards Smoke-Free Goal<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[Brussels, 7 September 2023] – On track to achieve a smoking rate below 5%, Sweden has taken yet another progressive step in the realm of harm reduction, solidifying its leadership role among the EU countries. Today, the <\/span>Swedish government has announced its plan<\/span><\/a> to reduce the tax on snus, a smokeless tobacco product, by 20% while increasing the tax on cigarettes and smoking tobacco by 9%.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers\u2019 Alliance, commented:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sweden’s new taxation policy is an exemplary move in fast-tracking the country even further towards its smoke-free target. By making less harmful alternatives like snus more accessible through tax reductions, Sweden is not just theorising harm reduction; it’s effectively implementing it. It’s time for the EU to take a leaf out of Sweden’s book.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

This announcement marks a significant advancement in tobacco control efforts. By encouraging smokers to switch to less harmful alternatives through a reduced tax on snus, Sweden is enhancing its already impressive public health record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why This Matters for the EU<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sweden’s groundbreaking policy decision cements its leadership role in tobacco harm reduction, setting an exemplary standard for the EU to follow. Risk-based taxation and regulation can encourage smokers to transition to less harmful products, such as vaping and nicotine pouches.<\/span><\/p>\n

“<\/span>Now is the time for the EU to follow Sweden’s lead. Implementing risk-based taxation and regulation for less harmful products like vaping and nicotine pouches\u2014and legalising snus in the EU\u2014would be a game-changer in public health policy<\/span><\/i>,” added Michael Landl.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
