According to the Baromètre de Santé publique France 2024, published on October 15, 2025, smoking has reached a historic low: 24% of adults aged 18 to 79 smoke, including 17.4% who smoke daily, compared with 32% and 25% in 2021. This decline confirms the trend that began in 2016 thanks to prevention efforts carried out nationwide. Taking part in Mois sans tabac means joining this collective momentum: 30 days without smoking multiplies the chances of quitting for good by five and provides a real boost toward a tobacco-free life.
