The EUI Sant Pau, a member of the Smoke-Free Commission of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, joins the XXVI Smoke-Free Week (SSF), which is celebrated the week of May 25 to 31, 2025, around World No Tobacco Day (May 31).

Smoke-Free Week is an initiative originating from the Spanish Society of Family and Community Medicine (semFYC), which coordinates the Smoke-Free Primary Care Program in Catalonia, in the context of SumaSalut (AIFICC, CAMFiC and ASPCAT) and is organized with various entities and organizations related to the campaign.

The motto of this edition is: “Let health be your prize”

The objective of Smoke-Free Week is to raise awareness among the population of the importance for health of not starting or quitting tobacco consumption and being able to enjoy an environment free of smoke and tobacco residues. Smoke-Free Week is one of the tools with which we make our commitment to promoting healthy behaviors a reality each year, for both children and adolescents, as well as for adults.
