The government has launched a "stop smoking" month from today (1st November). Since this idea was floated in the UK in 2012 it has helped over 300000 people to stop smoking.
About 13 million people smoke cigarettes in France, with known ill effects on their health and enormous costs to the national health service and contributes to 73000 deaths each year.
There are self help kits available by post or from pharmacies, with ideas and advice on how to stop smoking for one month (hence "mois"). Giving up for 30 days increases the chance of stopping completely by five times.
