That this House welcomes the remarkable reduction of cancer deaths in Sweden following the drop in smoking by Swedish males from 36 per cent. of the population in 1980 to 17 per cent. now; notes that smokeless tobacco is used by half of Sweden's male tobacco users but is rare among women, resulting in cancer male deaths that are half the European average while female cancer deaths are almost exactly the European average; notes that smokeless tobacco is used as an aid by a third of Swedes who quit smoking; is convinced by the research that smoking reduces life expectancy for a 35 year old smoker by eight years compared with a reduction of a mere 15 days by smokeless tobacco; is persuaded by the Royal College of Physicians' view that smokeless tobacco can be up to 1,000 times less hazardous than smoking tobacco; and believes that the UK ban on the use of Snus moist snuff should be removed so that its health advantages can be shared by British nicotine addicts.

That this House welcomes the confirmation from Cancer Research UK Action on Smoking and Health and the Royal College of Physicians that some forms of smokeless tobacco are between 500 and 1,000 times less hazardous than smoking tobacco; agrees with the conclusion that, if Britain followed the Swedish pattern of smokeless tobacco use, tobacco-related deaths among men would be cut by 44,000 a year; and urges the Government to end the ban on the sale of snus which will allow inveterate smokers access to a safer alternative that would add several years to their life expectancies.

That this House welcomes the result of the Swedish Euro Referendum; notes that in a Demoskop poll published in November 2002, when the referendum was called, the Yes side were leading by 45 per cent. to 39 per cent.; further notes that after a campaign in which virtually the entire political and business establishment urged a Yes vote and Yes outspent No by a margin of 9 to 1, the Swedish people voted No by 56 per cent. to 42 cent.; recognises that there will be no euro referendum in Britain before the next general election; and therefore believes that neither space in the Queen's Speech nor time in Parliament's next session should be wasted on any euro referendum bill when there are so many other, better things to be done.

That this House congratulates Sweden on achieving Europe's largest reduction in nicotine-related male cancer deaths through the use of a substance banned in the United Kingdom; notes that ingesting nicotine without the carcinogens produced by smoking has cut cancer deaths among Swedish males to less than half the average for the rest of Europe while the risk for females is exactly the European average; believes this is the result of the use of oral tobacco named snus by the majority of Swedish male smokers but rare among female smokers; and calls on the Government to investigate the benefits of encouraging nicotine addicts to transfer to less carcinogenic forms of nicotine and to review its ban on snus.
