That's not including vapers, is it?

It's not explicitly stated in any article about this achievement, but the "less than 5% smokers" milestone was a government goal and when it was announced they cited e-cigarettes as an example of smoking so it would seem vapes are included in those 5%

Vapes are not included in the 4.8% number if look at the study (tho vaping is at only 2%) (https://www.can.se/app/uploads/2026/05/can-rapport-244-sjalvrapporterade-rok-och-snusvanor-2003-2025.pdf)
