mission-action

Action

Take political and legal action to counter the tobacco industry's activities, while supporting academic research in order to restore the truth where this industry strives to manipulate it.

Our goal is to prioritize public health by fighting against the commercial interests of tobacco. To achieve this, our mission is based on three pillars: knowledge, communication, and action.

Oxysuisse is guided by the WHO Framework Convention and international best practices in tobacco control, with an approach focused on the commercial determinants of health, as a complement to behavioral prevention.
