No-Tobacco Month: Stop smoking with LaserAddict
Every November, the #MoisSansTabac campaign brings together thousands of participants around a common challenge: saying no to tobacco for 30 days. Launched under the auspices of the Ministry of Health and led by Santé publique France in partnership with Tabac Info Service, this national campaign invites everyone to take stock of their relationship with cigarettes and to embark on an individual and collective cessation process.https://laseraddict.ch/
More than just a simple awareness campaign, the Month #Without Tobacco is part of an ambitious public health strategy aimed at sustainably reducing the prevalence of smoking in France by promoting a positive and supportive approach.https://www.info.gouv.fr/actualite/mois-sans-tabac-2025-relevez-le-defi-d-arreter-de-fumer
Evidence of worrying social normalization
Tobacco addiction is now recognized as a complex addiction that involves both neurobiological, psychological, and behavioral mechanisms. Deeply rooted in every layer of our society, it has become much more than just a habit over the years: a true cultural ritual shared by everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, transcending social origins.
In 2023, there were nearly 15.6 million adult smokers, or about 27% % of the adult population. This is an alarming figure that testifies to the persistence of a habit that everyone knows the risks of.
Understanding tobacco addiction
Nicotine addiction acts like a vicious cycle by constantly activating the pleasure circuits in our brain. This chronic stimulation maintains sustained activation of the reward circuits, triggering the release of dopamine and other neurotransmitters. As a result, we end up lighting a cigarette almost mechanically, whether to calm a feeling of deprivation or to relieve a sense of anxiety.https://laseraddict.ch/services/arreter-de-fumer-tabac/
But behind this seemingly insignificant gesture lie very real consequences. Every year in France, tobacco causes the death of more than 75,000 people — an alarming figure that highlights the scale of the phenomenon. This observation highlights an essential truth: to permanently break free from cigarettes, willpower alone is not enough; appropriate support is often indispensable to break this cycle of addiction.
No Tobacco Month: a collective challenge to quit smoking
Launched in 2016, the Month Without #Tobacco is directly inspired by the British model Stoptober, which has proven its effectiveness beyond the Channel Islands. The concept is based on an idea that is both simple and convincing: by stopping smoking for thirty days, one multiplies by five their chances of permanently quitting tobacco. Thanks to the collective momentum and well-structured support, this national initiative turns November into a real springboard towards a life without cigarettes.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of participants take on this challenge, supported by healthcare professionals, associations, and a vast community of smokers who share the same goal. According to a study by Santé publique France published in October 2021, this initiative motivated nearly 1.8 million people to try to quit smoking between 2016 and 2019. This is a beautiful demonstration of what can be achieved when we come together around a common cause!
