ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To present selected results on exposure to second-hand smoke and experienced annoyance with second-hand smoke in the Swiss population, particularly in restaurants and in the workplace.METHODS:
The data were collected as part of the Swiss Survey of Tobacco Use ("Tobacco Monitoring") commissioned by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health. It is a representative, continuous survey of tobacco consumption among 14- to 65-year-olds in Switzerland. Since January 2001, four times a year a new sample of 2,500 persons has been taken (i.e. 10000 participants annually). The survey was conducted using standardized telephone interviews in German, French and Italian.RESULTS:
Approximately half of the working population in Switzerland is exposed to second-hand smoke in the workplace. In restaurants, cafes and bars, nearly 9 out of 10 people are exposed to environmental tobacco smoke. Non-smokers in particular report annoyance with second-hand smoke.CONCLUSIONS:
The Swiss population has a high level of exposure to second-hand smoke. There is a need for public health educational programs and legislation aiming at banning smoking in public areas and in the workplace.
