The Health and Lifestyle survey provides information on tobacco and nicotine. Other risk factors such as cannabis, medication, behavioural addictions and physical inactivity are occasionally addressed.
The survey comprises several modules repeated at varying intervals.
The Health and Lifestyle survey is a representative online survey of around 6,000 Swiss residents aged 15 and over. The survey was conducted for the first time in 2018 and again in 2022. It has been conducted annually since 2022.
The results are available in various forms depending on the year, including reports, Excel spreadsheets and information sheets.
The survey is a collaboration between the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH), the Tobacco Prevention Fund (TPF) and the Federal Statistical Office (FSO).
The information gathered will help to implement strategies to combat addiction and prevent non-communicable diseases.
