Between 2015 and 2018, the City participated as a pilot municipality in the cantonal program Comuni in salute (Healthy Towns), aimed at improving the well-being and quality of life of citizens with a prevention project, particularly focused on young people, to counter excessive alcohol consumption and promote a "non-smoking culture."

Project objectives:

  • Reduce the availability of alcohol and tobacco for minors
  • Decrease problematic alcohol consumption in the City, particularly among young people (15-30 years)
  • Lower the prevalence of young smokers (delaying the age of first use)
  • Limit exposure to smoking through measures against passive smoking in sensitive areas such as school courtyards, recreational areas, sports facilities, and places designated for youth

The project was coordinated by Radix Svizzera Italiana in collaboration with the Divisione Socialità della Città di Lugano (Social Affairs Division of the City of Lugano) and the Associazione Svizzera Non Fumatori (Swiss Non-Smokers' Association), with methodological supervision by the Servizio di promozione e valutazione sanitaria dell'Ufficio del medico cantonale (Health Promotion and Evaluation Service of the Cantonal Medical Office).
