Most of the burden of disease is linked to factors accessible to prevention.1 On this subject, in many European countries, there is a contrast between the quality of health systems and the weakness of prevention policies. For example, the WHO European Region has the highest rates of alcohol consumption and tobacco smoking in the world.2 It is thus satisfactory to observe that a political awareness of this issue is emerging in Europe. In France, for example, the new President and the Minister of Health have announced prevention as a priority of the new health policy.
