The use of tobacco and its related products remains a significant concern among teenagers, according to Professor Laurence Galanti from the Catholic University of Louvain in Belgium. While tobacco use is declining in France overall, it continues to be a notable issue among younger people. According to the Office Français de la Douane et des Tabacs (OFDT) in 2026, nearly 6.8% of high school students in France use e-cigarettes daily, highlighting the ongoing challenge of nicotine addiction among youth. In response to this issue, two programs in Belgium have been developed specifically to address nicotine dependence among young people. These programs are grounded in the idea that when young people are well-informed about the risks and consequences of nicotine use, they are more likely to avoid starting or to quit as soon as possible. The programs focus on education and awareness, aiming to provide young people with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed decisions about their health. They incorporate interactive sessions, peer support, and access to resources that help youth understand the long-term effects of nicotine use and the benefits of quitting. These initiatives reflect a broader effort to combat the rising use of nicotine products among adolescents, with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention. By targeting the root causes of nicotine addiction and promoting healthier choices, the programs aim to reduce the prevalence of tobacco and e-cigarette use in the younger population.
