An undesirable recurring action.
Contexto cultural
Swedes often discuss 'dåliga vanor' in the context of 'folkhälsa' (public health). There is a social expectation to be health-conscious. The concept of 'Sockerberget' (the sugar mountain) is a common cultural trope used to describe the bad habit of eating too much candy, especially 'lösgodis'. In Swedish offices, 'fika' is a good habit, but skipping it to work might be seen as a 'dålig vana' because it breaks social cohesion. Sweden is highly digitized, so 'mobilberoende' (mobile addiction) is frequently discussed as the most common 'dålig vana' of the 21st century.
