Sweden: clean Scandinavian air
Smoking is not popular in Sweden. In 2016, only 11 percent of the total Swedish population smoked a cigarette every day. The Swedes were early in terms of anti-smoking measures. Smoking in bars and restaurants has been banned since May 2005. This law was passed with a lot of popular support at the time.
Another fact to write home about for the Scandinavians is that they were the only country to meet an ambitious World Health Organization target. They achieved this goal by having fewer than 20% of residents that smoke every day by the year 2000. Other countries should take that as an example! The price of a pack of cigarettes in Sweden? About 6.65 euros (7.52 USD) on average.
