Launch of the “Become an Ex-Smoker” Campaign

From October 1 to November 1, 2026, Santé publique France is running a campaign that highlights the progress made toward quitting smoking. It showcases the support available through messages broadcast across various channels (TV, digital, billboards, etc.).

The tagline “Participating in Tobacco-Free Month increases your chances of becoming an ex-smoker” reminds viewers that 30 days without tobacco increases the chances of long-term cessation fivefold. “Month Without Tobacco” is also renewing its partnership with the M6 Group and its show “La France a un Incroyable Talent.”
