Sweden’s Smoke-Free Success: A Model for the EU Somos Innovación 2025-05-06 | We Are Innovation’s CEO, Federico Fernández, speaking at a panel titled “Bad Policy, Worse Outcomes - The Case Against Prohibition”, during LibertyCon Europe 2025.In this short but powerful speech, Federico explains why the European Union should look at Sweden’s approach against smoking. With an average smoking rate of 24%, the EU is significantly falling behind its target of becoming smoke-free by 2040, and the slow pace of decline suggests such a target will not be achieved until 2100. However, there’s one European country that stands out - Sweden. Sweden currently has a smoking rate of 5.3% amongst the entire population and 4.5% amongst citizens who have lived under Swedish policies their whole lives, being able to claim a smoke-free status. How? By granting the accessibility, acceptability and affordability of innovative nicotine products. Learn more about it by watching the full video!Besides Federico, the full panel counted on the insights of Alberto Gómez Hernández (World Vapers’ Alliance), Martin Pánek (Institute for Liberal Studies) and Tom G. Palmer (Atlas Network) and the moderation of Reem Ibrahim (Institute of Economic Affairs).

What If Aliens Solved Smoking? | Tomasz Agencki’s Bold Vision Somos Innovación 2025-04-22 | In this candid clip, Tomasz Agencki, director of the documentary "How Sweden Quit Smoking," shares his creative vision for an alternative sci-fi take on the same story.Agencki imagines aliens landing with a revolutionary gift for humanity: a way to consume nicotine without the harmful effects of cigarettes. Despite offering this life-saving alternative for free with no strings attached, humanity responds with skepticism and resistance, clinging to familiar yet harmful habits.“It's like Sweden being the only country with internet while everyone else refuses to connect out of skepticism,” Agencki explains, drawing a powerful parallel to how Sweden’s innovative approach to nicotine consumption has been largely ignored globally despite its success.His sarcastic commentary challenges us to question why proven strategies face such resistance worldwide. As Agencki puts it, “Even if only half of it is true, we have the golden key to open many positive options right now.”Watch the full documentary to discover how Sweden became the first smoke-free nation and what the rest of the world can learn from their revolutionary approach: youtu.be/kUL7sNt8GHM Follow We Are Innovation: ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ TikTok - / weare_innovation X - / innovationweare LinkedIn - / weareinnovation Instagram - / innovationweare Web: https://weareinnovation.global About We Are Innovation: ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀ We Are Innovation is a dynamic network of individuals and institutions who fervently believe in the power of innovation to drive progress and solve the world’s most pressing problems.
