They're all ramming Snus against their gums like there's no tomorrow though.

Smokers who have taken up snus use have quit smoking to a significantly greater extent than smokers without snus use, and a substantial proportion has eventually quit snus use as well and become tobacco-free.

Registrations dated from 1994 to 2023. All participating regions provided data from at least 2015 and forward. Overall prevalence for smoking was 12%, and 13% for snus.

Doesn't really seem to be true exactly. But, snus use is mildly more popular than smoking in Sweden.
