Tobacco-free month starts in France

France's tobacco-free month, initiated during the presidency of François Hollande, began its 11th edition on Sunday. This initiative aims to raise awareness about the dangers of tobacco use and encourage smokers to quit.

Focus on public health and awareness

The tobacco-free month is a public health campaign that promotes smoking cessation and highlights the health risks associated with tobacco consumption. It includes various activities and educational programs across the country.

Participation across different sectors

Schools, hospitals, and public institutions participate in the campaign by organizing events, workshops, and information sessions. These activities are designed to engage both smokers and non-smokers in discussions about tobacco harm.

Support for quitting tobacco

Health professionals and support groups are available throughout the month to assist individuals who want to quit smoking. Resources such as counseling, nicotine replacement therapies, and quit-smoking programs are promoted as part of the initiative.
