An information stand, set up in the city center, offered passers-by some advice and documents, including a test to analyze one’s breath (see the quantity of carbon monoxide, an indicator of smoking). “We kindly offer tools to support smoking cessation, because everyone knows that smoking is dangerous,” says Marie Berhault, of the League Against Cancer.
A “No Tobacco Month” kit
Quitting can start by registering on the “Month without tobacco” website. “Then, to keep yourself motivated, the “No Tobacco Month” kit allows you to visualize the money saved thanks to its savings wheel. Accompanied by its 40-day program, the kit offers effective daily help with advice, challenges, small games and practical information on the advantages obtained by quitting smoking. Each day is followed by recommendations: day 3, do some exercise; day 8, cook a good meal; day 14, take your mind off things and occupy your hands by doing origami, drawing or folding. »
There is also the Tabac info service application which is free and offers personalized support thanks to the dashboard and coaching activities. The 38 89 call number is also very practical because a tobacco specialist answers all questions and accompanies the person free of charge throughout their quit. As it is easier to achieve it together, the support and sharing on the Month Without Tobacco Facebook page and the Instagram account allows the exchange of testimonies from former smokers. Finally, recourse to health professionals to be prescribed nicotine substitutes may also be necessary.
