Switzerland is not a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Switzerland signed the FCTC on June 25, 2004, but has not ratified the treaty. Switzerland has no formal rules against the participation of the tobacco industry in public health policy, allowing key government officials to represent tobacco industry interests in policy discussions. Moreover, the Swiss government’s open support for input from the tobacco industry on drafted policies and legislation, allows the industry to be well-represented in the policy process, enabling them to water down or stop tobacco control measures.
