About Tobaksfakta think tank

Tobaksfakta was founded in 2010 and is an independent, non-profit organisation with 15 national member organisations. Our work is based on the WHO’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, FCTC. It provides support in efforts to prevent and reduce all forms of tobacco use, nicotine addiction and passive smoking. We work to increase knowledge of and commitment to the Framework Convention among decision-makers and society at large. The overall goal of Swedish tobacco and nicotine policy is to reduce all use of tobacco and nicotine products and to prevent minors from starting to use these products.
