[Tobacco, alcohol and drug consumption of the working population in Switzerland]

In a study in Switzerland we checked the consumption of tobacco, alcohol and medicaments of 1033 women and 1260 men engaged in 44 factories in Switzerland. Cigarettes smoked 54% of the women, but only 44% of the men in the age from 20-35. No alcohol drank 10% of the feminine and 4% of the masculine employees. At the time of the study 27% of all women and 16% of all men took medicaments of any kind, but only one third of all were prescribed by a doctor.
