is close to declaring itself Europe's first 'smoke-free' country - defined as having fewer than 5 per cent of daily smokers in the population.Some experts have said Sweden's rate of smoking - the lowest in the Europe Union - is down to decades of anti-smoking campaigns and legislation, while others point to the prevalence of 'snus', a smokeless tobacco product banned elsewhere in the EU but marketed in Sweden as an alternative to cigarettes.The 5 per cent milestone is now within reach, as statistics from the Public Health Agency of Sweden show the daily smoking rate reached 5.6 per cent last year.
