This is a step on the right direction but Switzerland really has a loooooong way to go on tobacco. I don’t think I have breathed as much secondhand smoke in the developed world as I have since moving to Switzerland. People smoke everywhere. Basically if you can somehow see the outside, you’re outside and can smoke. That includes parkings, covered areas, train stations (I know it became illegal to smoke there not too long ago but no one seems to care). Not to mention smoking in doorways, under public or office buildings open windows, children playgrounds… hell, I see people multiple times every day smoking with a baby in one arm and a cigarette in the other hand, or dragging children along with them while smoking and have the cigarette burn in the child’s face. Oh, and that festival in Appenzell where children (as in 7–14 years old) are encouraged to smoke. Really. Look it up, it’s a thing. It’s really going to be tough to change it, will probably take a generation at least.
