Every year in France, Smoke-Free Month is a unique opportunity to transform a dangerous habit into a healthy new start. The concept is simple: 30 days without tobacco, to prove to yourself that you can do without, while benefiting from solid support. In 2025, the event marks a milestone in the national strategy to combat smoking.
Why this challenge?
Statistics confirm that taking up the challenge multiplies the chances of success: for those who go 30 days without smoking, the probability of becoming a long-term non-smoker is greatly increased.
But beyond the numbers, Smoke-Free Month aims to create a collective dynamic, boost motivation through mutual support, and break the solitude often felt in the face of cessation. Service Public+2Fédération Addiction+2
Since its launch in 2016, over 1.3 million people have signed up for the challenge. In 2025, this tenth edition adds a symbolic dimension: marking a decade of commitment and reminding everyone that quitting smoking is a collective cause. Santé Publique France
How does it work?
- Free registration: smokers can register on the official Smoke-Free Month website as early as the previous month, giving them access to support tools (kit, content, suggestions) before the launch.
- Stop Smoking Kit: a 40-day program (including 10 days of preparation + 30 days of challenge), practical advice and ideas for everyday actions.
- Personalized support: call 39 89 to be put in touch with a tobaccologist, free of charge. The Tabac Info Service application completes the system, with tailored digital coaching.
- Community & support: forums, social networks, local groups reinforce mutual support, share successes and offer encouragement during potential relapses.
Expected benefits
Quitting smoking for 30 days means starting a process of physiological repair, but also making psychological gains:
- The body begins to eliminate carbon monoxide, circulation improves, breath returns and the senses awaken.
- Morale rises: feeling free from an addiction, proving to yourself that you can do it.
- A significant financial gain, given the rising price of tobacco.
- A positive influence on the people around you: who stops often inspires others.
Preparation and strategy
To maximize your chances, it’s advisable to prepare for Smoke-Free Month as early as the month before: select a date, define your motivations, anticipate stressful moments, build up support (friends, family, professionals).
During the challenge, it’s useful to diversify the tools: breathing exercises, distractions, a mobile app, contact with other participants – anything that helps distract the craving.
Some participants also choose to combine Tobacco-Free Month with a complementary technique to relieve withdrawal symptoms or nervousness.
MyLaserTabac: a holistic method for lasting cessation
At MyLaserTabac, we believe that quitting smoking can be an opportunity to rethink your relationship with other addictions (sugar, alcohol, cannabis) and stress. Our mission is to offer a gentle, modern, integrated alternative that works on both body and mind.
Technology for weaning
The MyLaserTabac method is based on an approach inspired by auriculotherapy, but using laser photobiomodulation to stimulate reflex points in the ear.
This stimulation aims to :
- Reduce nicotine cravings by sending neurological “feel-good” signals
- Soothing withdrawal symptoms
- Promote the production of endorphins, hormones linked to relaxation and natural pleasure
- Other addictions such as sugar, alcohol and cannabis can also be better managed by adopting this integrated approach.
The session is designed to be painless, non-invasive, with no side effects, using equipment that complies with European CE standards.
Effectiveness and limitations
Some users report noticeable results from the very first session, including a significant reduction in craving. My Laser Tabac+3My Laser Tabac+3My Laser Tabac+3
