Which stories captured the greatest interest among Snusforumet readers over the past year? We’ve assembled a list of the most-read articles of 2025, so readers can discover, revisit, and share the stories that resonated most over the last 12 months.

As we look back on the year, a clear pattern emerges: Snusforumet readers sought facts, research, and straightforward answers on one of our most pressing public health issues at a time of growing ambiguity and misinformation.

2025 was a year when several significant debates surrounding snus and nicotine took a new turn. New research challenged long-held assumptions about the effects of nicotine, several countries took steps to create new regulations, and Sweden once again found itself front and centre in international discussions about harm reduction best practices.

The Snusforumet editorial team remained committed to providing well-sourced, fact-based reporting on tobacco and nicotine policy — both in Sweden and internationally. Alongside on-the-ground reporting, we closely followed debates and developments across platforms such as X (Twitter) and Facebook to ensure key stories didn’t pass unnoticed.

Now that 2025 is drawing to a close, we’ve reviewed everything published over the year to identify the articles that reached the widest audience.

You’ll find the full list below. If any of these stories passed you by the first time, now’s the perfect moment to catch up on Snusforumet’s most-read articles of 2025.

Happy New Year, and thanks for reading!
