Strict Swedes and forceful Finns

[Garzo]

My attention was drawn to a packet of cigarettes from Finland. Being bilingual, the law requires the EU health warning to be in Swedish as well as Finnish. The packet read:

Älä pakota lapsia hengittämään savua.
Låt inte barn andas rök.

This, I gather, translates as Don't force children to inhale smoke in Finnish and Don't let children inhale smoke in Swedish.

Does this mean that Swedish speakers are more strict -- they must prevent all children from inhaling smoke -- whereas Finnish-speaking children may only smoke of their own free will?

Only if they don't inhale....
