How you can contribute:

  • 1. Talk to your members of parliament using key

messages (we have list of mandates for member)

  • 2. Repeat key messages wherever you can:

PROTECTION OF MINORS by prohibition of ads and (as a consequence) FCTC ratification e-cigarettes ARE NOT a main topic at this stage

  • 3. Emphasize common goals with AT and other

public health actors and coordination of activities

  • 4. Emphasize support of 6 large health insurance

companies, FMH, Pharmasuisse and medical and public health community at large
