The activities of the calendar started on the 1st of December 2023 and will last until the 24th of December 2023. During this month, the Tobacco Free Advent Calendar is available to the public, offering a wealth of interactive materials, captivating videos, and exciting opportunities to win prizes, which became possible with the help of a series of researchers and medical doctors from the ENSPNext and its partners. |

With the start of
the most wonderful time of the year, the Christmas spirit extended to our colleagues and friends from Armenia who wished to engage even more with the calendar's important message. This is why in collaboration with the American University of Armenia, the Armenian version of the calendar is now online and will run according to the Gregorian calendar! |

Empowering a Tobacco-Free Generation |
|
|---|
|
ENSPNext and OSM Cluj seek to counteract the misleading messages perpetuated by the tobacco industry. By providing evidence-based information and debunking common misconceptions, the calendar aims to educate individuals about the misconception that nicotine relieves stress and showcases its negative impact on physical and mental health. |

|
The main aim is to enhance participants' understanding of stress, its causes, symptoms, and effective management strategies. The calendar also raises awareness about the harmful effects of nicotine, the challenges of dependence, and the importance of quitting smoking. Stress is a widespread issue in today's fast-paced society, impacting people of all ages and backgrounds. By offering evidence-based insights into stress biomedicine and physiology, the calendar empowers individuals to manage stress better and enhance their overall well-being. Nicotine, a highly addictive substance in tobacco, is often used as a coping mechanism for stress. |
