ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND-AIM:
The increasing use of tobacco and emerging nicotine products among adolescents highlights the need for structured, evidence-based prevention in schools. The TabaCoffret aims to strengthen early prevention by improving risk perception, critical thinking and psychosocial skills among students aged 12–16.
METHODS:
TabaCoffret is a modular educational toolkit designed for school settings. A pilot phase (March–July 2024) was conducted in 10 secondary schools, coordinated by addiction coordinators responsible for implementation. Feedback was collected through questionnaires and exchanges to refine the tool. The optimised version was then rolled out nationally, with one TabaCoffret distributed to each secondary school and implemented through the existing network of addiction coordinators.
RESULTS:
The pilot phase demonstrated good feasibility and high acceptability among professionals. Addiction coordinators reported that the tool is easy to use and facilitates interactive sessions with students. Feedback highlighted strong student engagement and confirmed the relevance of the content. At national level, initial feedback shows that the TabaCoffret is well received. Its interactive and modular format facilitates spontaneous discussions on tobacco and vaping and lowers the threshold for addressing these topics. Training sessions for addiction coordinators supported uptake and strengthened their capacity to use the tool effectively in practice.
CONCLUSIONS:
TabaCoffret is a scalable and sustainable prevention model embedded in school systems, supporting long-term tobacco and nicotine prevention among adolescents. School-based smoking prevention
