- Abstract
In November 2023, the Danish Government and four political parties agreed on a new prevention plan to reduce the use of tobacco, nicotine, and alcohol among adolescents in Denmark. The plan addresses the high rates of alcohol consumption and the increasing use of nicotine products among Danish adolescents. However, some experts argue that the plan falls short in certain areas, such as not raising the age limit for alcohol sales to adolescents and not increasing prices on cigarettes. They believe that more comprehensive policy changes and involvement from multiple actors are needed to effectively reduce substance use among adolescents.
