Abstract

Switzerland has rejected a national ban on smoking in indoor public places. The proposal was put to the population in a referendum held on Sunday, Sept 23. Turnout was low, but the outcome was in little doubt. 66% of respondents voted against amending the federal constitution so as to outlaw smoking in all enclosed public venues. Geneva was the only one of 26 cantons to vote in favour of the proposal (and then only by a narrow margin). Switzerland now joins Germany, Romania, and the Czech Republic in failing to enact such legislation.
