Abstract

In Sweden, there has been a massive transition from cigarette smoking to snus, the Swedish kind of low-toxicity oral tobacco. This product poses very little health risk compared to cigarettes, as illustrated by the fact that males in Sweden have Europe's lowest level of mortality attributable to smoking. The current investigation estimates how high the smoking-attributable mortality in Sweden would have been if there had been no snus in Sweden. It is made up by comparisons between observed Swedish data and two scenarios without snus: a group of comparable countries, and, a hypothetical Sweden with no snus use. Both comparisons suggest that around 3000 lives per year have been saved by the use of snus in Sweden.

如果瑞典没有鼻烟：鼻烟对吸烟死亡率的影响。

在瑞典，人们已经从吸食香烟大量过渡到吸食 snus（瑞典的一种低毒口服烟草）。与香烟相比，这种产品对健康的危害很小，瑞典男性因吸烟导致的死亡率是欧洲最低的就说明了这一点。目前的调查估计，如果瑞典没有鼻烟，吸烟导致的死亡率会有多高。它是通过比较瑞典的观察数据和两种没有鼻烟的情况而得出的：一组可比国家和一个没有使用鼻烟的假想瑞典。这两项比较结果表明，瑞典每年因使用鼻烟而挽救的生命约为 3000 条。

期刊介绍： Harm Reduction Journal is an Open Access, peer-reviewed, online journal whose focus is on the prevalent patterns of psychoactive drug use, the public policies meant to control them, and the search for effective methods of reducing the adverse medical, public health, and social consequences associated with both drugs and drug policies. We define "harm reduction" as "policies and programs which aim to reduce the health, social, and economic costs of legal and illegal psychoactive drug use without necessarily reducing drug consumption". We are especially interested in studies of the evolving patterns of drug use around the world, their implications for the spread of HIV/AIDS and other blood-borne pathogens.
