Stockholm has received nearly 80 complaints related to saunas since the beginning of last year. Over 20 of these complaints concern wood-fired saunas and the smoke they produce. The city has also received feedback on sauna accessibility and safety, as well as requests to build more saunas near water where people can swim.
Some complaints have come from businesses, such as restaurants, that find the smoke disruptive. The number of saunas in Stockholm has increased in recent years, leading to more complaints. The city's traffic office handles all complaints and provides feedback to those who submit them.
