What it is

stop-tabac.ch is a national public welfare smoking cessation support platform operated in Switzerland. It targets the general public who want to quit smoking and medical professionals who provide smoking cessation services, offering evidence-based professional smoking cessation education and personalized online consulting services. Its core goal is to help smokers quit successfully through scientific methods.

Core Features & Pricing

The platform covers the entire smoking cessation journey: it provides general users with staged step-by-step guidance from starting your quit, managing withdrawal symptoms, to preventing relapse; it gives detailed explanations of the principles, effectiveness and usage notes for all common cessation methods, with all conclusions citing authoritative evidence-based medical research sources; it allows users to get free personalized consultations via three formats: phone, live text chat and video, and also offers a directory to search for local in-person cessation services across Switzerland. For medical professionals, the platform also provides a dedicated professional knowledge base, counseling tools, and industry news subscription services.

All information and consulting services on the platform itself are completely free to access, with no paid features. Fees for in-person treatment are charged by the corresponding local providers at their standard regional rates.

Pros and Cons

Advantages: The platform's content is rigorous and professional, with every smoking cessation method backed by authoritative research, so its information is far more credible than general non-professional content; all services are free and anonymous, and it supports multiple consultation formats to fit different users' communication preferences; it has a complete content system that caters to both general users and professional practitioners.

Disadvantages: The platform only supports French, which creates a high language barrier, and core services are only available to users based in Switzerland; it only provides online information and consultation, does not offer in-person physical services, and does not sell any smoking cessation products.

Suitable Users and Accessibility from China

This platform is primarily suitable for smokers in Switzerland who want to quit smoking, and medical professionals working in smoking cessation counseling around the world who want to reference its professional content. Users in mainland China can access the website directly, but it is only suitable for referencing professional knowledge, as its localized consultation services are not available for users outside Switzerland.
