Joint Action on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention including Smoke and Aerosol Free Environments

The aim of this joint action is to reduce the burden of NCDs including cancer, and their risk factors, both at the individual and population level. Smoking and other forms of tobacco consumption are considered the single most important cause of preventable morbidity and premature mortality worldwide, with tobacco being the single major cause of premature deaths in the European Union (EU). The Joint Action on Health Promotion and Disease Prevention including Smoke and Aerosol Free Environments” (JA-SAFE) aims to significantly reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke across Europe, contributing to the EU’s goal of achieving a tobacco-free generation. The project encompasses nine work packages under five thematic areas, smoke free environments, alcohol prevention, cessation, steps towards a tobacco free generation and supporting health promotion and disease prevention in Europe.

The main results of JARED project:

• Reduced tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke
• Stronger smoke- and aerosol-free environments across Europe
• Improved cessation support systems
• Enhanced cooperation and coordinated action among EU Member States in NCD prevention
