Los cigarrillos electrónicos son legales en Suecia, donde se permite la venta tanto en línea como a través de máquinas expendedoras, y los productos están disponibles en comercios generales. Sin embargo, no se permiten declaraciones de beneficios para la salud y la publicidad está regulada. El impuesto especial aplicado a los cigarrillos electrónicos oscila entre el 10 % y el 50 % del impuesto que se aplica a los cigarrillos tradicionales, lo que refleja un enfoque de tributación moderada en comparación con los productos de tabaco convencionales. Suecia aplica varias medidas regulatorias para los cigarrillos electrónicos, entre ellas la notificación obligatoria de nuevos productos, requisitos para envases a prueba de niños y manipulaciones, así como advertencias sanitarias en el embalaje. La edad mínima legal para comprar cigarrillos electrónicos es de 18 años. Aunque no hay restricciones respecto a la variedad de sabores, el contenido de nicotina está limitado a 20 mg/mL o menos, y la capacidad de los depósitos no puede superar los 2 mL. El uso de cigarrillos electrónicos también está sujeto a restricciones legales en lugares públicos. Las estadísticas muestran que aproximadamente 83,500 personas en Suecia eran usuarias actuales de cigarrillos electrónicos en 2023. La prevalencia de vapeo entre adultos se estimó en 1 % en 2023, cifra que fue levemente mayor entre las mujeres (2,2 %) en comparación con los hombres (1,9 %) en 2022. En 2023, la prevalencia de uso diario de estos dispositivos entre adultos se reportó en 0,6 %, situándose en 0,4 % entre las mujeres y 0,6 % entre los hombres en 2022. En 2017, la percepción pública del daño asociado a los cigarrillos electrónicos en Suecia mostró que el 65 % de los adultos consideraba que estos productos eran igual o más perjudiciales que los cigarrillos convencionales, el 14 % los veía como menos nocivos y el 21 % no supo responder a la pregunta. En general, el entorno sueco relacionado con los cigarrillos electrónicos se caracteriza por un acceso regulado, una tributación moderada y una prevalencia relativamente baja, moldeado por una fuerte percepción de riesgo para la salud.
