Sweden is now smoke-free.
A smoking rate of just 3.7%.
So…

Let's quit
like Sweden

We believe every country can get there too
inspired by the Swedish experience.

THE SWEDISH EXPERIENCE

This is how
Sweden did it.

Sweden has enabled alternatives to cigarettes
to be accessible, acceptable, and affordable.

Accessible

Sweden has enabled alternatives to cigarettes to be accessible, acceptable, and affordable.

Acceptable

Easy to like. Formats and flavours adults actually use — not punitive substitutes.

Affordable

Cheaper than smoking, every time. When safer alternatives cost less, the switch becomes logical.

And help transform one
country’s success into a
global model.

Quit Like Sweden is a non-profit helping countries reduce smoking by sharing Sweden’s remarkable
success — a model that can be adapted to each country’s culture, society, and economic reality.

This isn’t just Sweden’s story. It’s a model for the world
