2020
Switzerland scores above the global average, but lower than the average score of countries in its region and income group. Switzerland would benefit significantly from implementing changes to its cigarette tax system.
Component Score
2020
Switzerland scores well in tax structure, mid-range in cigarette price and tax share, but poorly in the affordability change component. Improvements can be made by increasing cigarette prices, reducing affordability, and increasing the tax share of price.
Scores Over Time
Switzerland's overall scores decreased from 2014 to 2020 due to a failure to reduce the affordability of cigarettes over time.
