As the eleventh Mois sans tabac campaign opens on 1 November 2026, France’s national dental council calls on members to discuss smoking with their patients and support the thirty-day challenge.

The council highlights the role of dental practices in spotting early signs of oral cancers, explaining tobacco’s effects and directing patients to cessation support. It notes that dentists can prescribe nicotine replacement products.

The national campaign provides online registration, kits and the Tabac info service app. The 39 89 helpline provides support Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 8 pm, so it is not open on this launch Sunday. The sources describe available support and do not yet provide results for the 2026 edition.

The scheme brings together Santé publique France, the health ministry and Assurance Maladie. It includes a dedicated website, the Tabac info service app, cessation kits and telephone support on 39 89.

Info Jeunes Bourgogne-Franche-Comté also lists these tools and points to regional support through the Tab’agir network. The 30 October announcement concerns the assistance available; it does not yet provide results on successful quitting during the 2026 campaign.
