For the fifth consecutive year, the Principality of Monaco is getting involved in the month-long Moi(s) Sans Tabac stop smoking campaign.

The campaign is a collective, community-based prevention challenge that involves motivating and helping all smokers to kick the habit.
It relies on team spirit and support from non-smokers, who encourage smokers in their efforts to give up.

All smokers are invited to quit smoking from Sunday 1 November for one month,
since there is a considerable reduction in unpleasant withdrawal symptoms after 28 days, multiplying the chances of success fivefold.

This kind of campaign requires the significant mobilisation of all healthcare professionals, including doctors, chemists, dental surgeons, midwives, physiotherapists, nurses, osteopaths and psychologists.
In light of the current health situation, the focus this year will be on online awareness activities.

Let’s stop together in November! Participants will receive daily support in their attempt to quit.
The Prince’s Government invites smokers to take part in the campaign by registering for Moi(s) Sans Tabac via the Tabac/Info website, by calling 3989 (calls from Monaco and France are free) or by downloading the app to their smartphone (see: https://www.tabac-info-service.fr/ieme-fais-accompagner/je-telecharge-I-appli)

The best possible preparation
To give yourself the best chance of success, make sure you are well prepared by contacting a stop smoking specialist or a healthcare professional, who will work with you to determine the most appropriate strategy.
There are several strategies which will help you to quit and to stay off the cigarettes over the long term. It is up to you to decide which of these are best suited to your lifestyle and relationship with tobacco.

In addition, support from the Princess Grace Hospital’s specialist stop smoking consultation service is free and can be accessed by telephoning 97.98.97.41.
