Abstract (English): Smoking is the main preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in Spain, with a particular incidence among young people. Universities offer a key opportunity to implement effective tobacco prevention and cessation strategies. Objectives: To train health professionals and first and second year students of Health Sciences of the Albacete Campus (Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Psychology) in prevention and tackling smoking, and to implement peer-to-peer community interventions aimed at university and high school students. Methodology: The project is structured in three phases: 1. Postgraduate online course (30 ECTS credits) for health professionals. 2. Face-to-face workshops for students in Health Sciences, differentiating between smokers motivated to quit and non-smokers interested in supporting smokers during the cessation process. Clinical interviews, cooximetry, cognitive-behavioural techniques and validated materials are used. 3. Trained student-led interventions, supervised by professionals, in educational settings. Evaluation of all phases includes pre- and post-tests, clinical case monitoring and satisfaction surveys. Expected results: This project aims to improve participants' knowledge and skills in preventing and tackling smoking, as well as reducing tobacco use in young people participating in the creation of healthier educational spaces. Data collection can be useful for designing future public health strategies. Applicability: The model is scalable, replicable and sustainable, with the potential to be integrated into university curricula and to influence public policy on smoking prevention. Conclusion: Early intervention, before tobacco dependence becomes established, is essential to achieve a significant impact on public health and reduce the intergenerational transmission of this addictive behavior.

Abstract (Spanish): El tabaquismo es la principal causa prevenible de morbimortalidad en España, con especial incidencia en jóvenes. Las universidades ofrecen una oportunidad clave para implementar estrategias efectivas de prevención y cesación tabáquica. Objetivos: capacitar a profesionales sanitarios y estudiantes de primer y segundo curso de Ciencias de la Salud del Campus de Albacete (Medicina, Enfermería, Farmacia y Psicología) en prevención y abordaje del tabaquismo, e implementar intervenciones comunitarias entre pares dirigidas a universitarios y estudiantes de bachillerato. Metodología. El proyecto se estructura en tres fases: 1. Curso online de posgrado (30 créditos ECTS) dirigido a profesionales sanitarios. 2. Talleres presenciales para estudiantes en Ciencias de la Salud, diferenciando fumadores motivados para dejar el tabaco y no fumadores interesados en apoyar a fumadores durante el proceso de cesación. Se emplean entrevistas clínicas, cooximetría, técnicas cognitivo-conductuales y materiales validados. 3. Intervenciones lideradas por estudiantes capacitados, supervisadas por profesionales, en entornos de centros universitarios e institutos. La evaluación de todas las fases incluye pruebas pre y post, seguimiento de casos clínicos y encuestas de satisfacción. Resultados esperados: con este proyecto se pretende mejorar el conocimiento y habilidades de los participantes en prevención y abordaje del tabaquismo, además de reducir el consumo de tabaco en jóvenes que participen en la creación de espacios educativos más saludables. La recopilación de datos puede ser útil para diseñar futuras estrategias de salud pública. Aplicabilidad: el modelo es escalable, replicable y sostenible, con posibilidad de integrarse en planes docentes universitarios y de influir en políticas públicas de prevención del tabaquismo. Conclusión: intervenir de forma temprana, antes que la dependencia tabáquica se consolide, es esencial para lograr un impacto significativo en la salud pública y reducir la transmisión intergeneracional de esta conducta adictiva.
