Tobacco

Around one in four people in Switzerland smoke. Cigarettes contain nicotine, which is quickly and highly addictive. Smoking is very bad for your health and causes around 9,500 deaths every year. It is difficult to consume tobacco without risk. That's why it is best if you don’t smoke at all.
FISP helps parents to prevent their children from smoking. Smokers are encouraged to stop smoking and are given useful advice on how to do so.
