Od papierosów przez tabakę po saszetki nikotynowe: nietypowy model redukcji szkód wywołanych paleniem tytoniu przyjęty w Islandii
Podczas gdy snus stał się coraz popularniejszą alternatywą dla osób chcących odejść od palenia w Szwecji i Norwegii, Islandczycy wybierają inne bezpieczniejsze produkty nikotynowe, a niniejszy Briefing Paper przedstawia historię ich wzrostu popularności.
Changes in the Prevalence of Smoking and Sales of Cigarettes and Snus in Iceland
- Burning Issues: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2020
Iceland has witnessed a dramatic decline in smoking to 8.2% in 2019, and has the second lowest adult daily smoking rate in Europe after Sweden. A long-term decline in smoking accelerated in 2007 and again in 2012. Market data show, on a weight-for-weight basis, a continued decline in cigarette sales and an increase in snus sales. Prevalence of adult daily snus use was 3.2% in 2012 rising to 6% in 2019. Prevalence of adult daily e-cigarette use was 3.6% in 2017. It would appear that the uptake of snus and latterly of e-cigarettes has contributed to the long-term decline in smoking. Most significant is that smoking uptake among young people has virtually disappeared with only 3.3% of 18-24 year old smoking, and 0.8% of 16 year olds.

Prevalence of Current Smoking Cigarettes and Current Vaping
- Burning Issues: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction 2020
Overall, as a percentage of the total adult population, current use of vaping devices in different countries ranges between 1% and 7%. As shown by this graphic there are eight countries where the prevalence of vaping is 3% or more including the UK, United Arab Emirates (UAE), US, France, Iceland, Belgium, the Russian Federation and Malaysia. The average prevalence of current vaping product use is 1.6 % of the adult population in the EU, as found in the EU Eurobarometer survey. A further 13% “used to use them, but no longer do so” or “have tried them once or twice”. 85.6% “have never tried or used them”. Levels of sometime vaping experience range up to 27% of the adult population in Greece, and 20% or above in Estonia, Czech Republic, France, Cyprus, Latvia and Austria. Clearly, there are many smokers who are interested in these products. But there is also a large gap between those who have shown enough interest to have tried vaping at some time, and those who have gone on to currently vape.
