3. Allow or prohibit - that's the big question

What is actually more dangerous to your health? Smoking, drinking or being too lonely? Professor Karl-Erik Lund, an expert on tobacco issues, says we need to unleash the alternatives to the dangerous cigarettes, snus and e-cigs, to reduce disease and death. Marie Risbeck, alcohol expert at the Public Health Agency of Sweden, believes that the Systembolaget is the best way to save lives and public health. KD's deputy party leader Jakob Forssmed thinks we should legislate against loneliness, because loneliness creates illness. The conversation is led by psychiatrist and senior physician David Eberhard.
