Inhaled tobacco smoking remains the most important preventable risk factor for numerous diseases and for premature deaths worldwide. In Switzerland, more than 1.9 million people smoked in 2017, representing 27% of people over the age of 15. 56% of smokers were between 15 and 44 years old in 2017. Stopping smoking as early as possible in the lives of smokers is the most important measure to prevent disease and death.
