Mois sans tabac: the kit to quit smoking
A chance to succeed
According to the Santé publique France Barometer 2024, published on 15 October 2025, smoking has reached a historically low level: 24 % of adults aged 18 to 79 smoke, including 17.4 % daily, compared to 32 % and 25 % in 2021. This decline confirms the trend underway since 2016 thanks to prevention actions carried out nationwide.
Participating in Mois sans tabac means joining this collective momentum: 30 days without smoking multiplies the chances of long-term cessation fivefold and offers a real boost toward a smoke-free life.
