AT Publications & Studies
The Swiss Association for Tobacco Control is an important player in tobacco prevention in Switzerland, and in the promotion of education about the health risks of tobacco and nicotine consumption. We conduct ongoing research and work with various organisations to regularly publish scientific articles, studies, and reports. Our commitment is reflected in our comprehensive analysis of tobacco-related topics in order to develop evidence-based approaches for an effective prevention strategy, and to provide decision-makers and the public with comprehensive information.
