Should indoor public places and workplaces be smoke-free?

AI-generated summary, admin reviewed: This initiative proposed a nationwide smoking ban in publicly accessible indoor spaces and workplaces. Restaurants could no longer operate as smoking establishments, and smoking rooms would generally be permitted only if they were self-service. Supporters argued that consistent national rules were needed to protect employees and the public from passive smoking. Opponents argued that existing protections were sufficient and that the proposal would impose unnecessary restrictions on restaurants, businesses and regional governments. Swiss voters rejected the initiative.
