What if we smoked less?

Launched on November 25, 2024, “What if We Smoked Less?” is an initiative led by the School of Pharmacy and supported by the Occitanie Regional Health Agency (ARS). Its goal is to reduce the impact of smoking and e-cigarette use, support smokers and vapers in their efforts to cut back on campus, and raise awareness among the entire university community about the issues related to nicotine.

This project offers personalized support, prevention and awareness-raising initiatives, as well as a collective commitment to improving the quality of life on campus. Here you’ll find all the resources and information you need to better understand the issues and take action together.
