Invest in your workforce’s wellbeing and reduce healthcare costs
A smoke-free workforce creates a healthier workplace environment, reducing exposure to second-hand smoke and improving overall air quality. This leads to higher employee morale and satisfaction (NIOSH). Promoting a smoke-free environment demonstrates a company’s commitment to health and safety, fostering a positive culture.
Quitting smoking significantly improves employee health, reducing risks of heart disease, stroke, and respiratory issues. Within a year of quitting, the risk of coronary heart disease drops by half (American Cancer Society). Healthier employees are more engaged and have higher morale, leading to better performance and lower staff turnover.
Employees who quit smoking are more productive and take fewer sick days. Smokers are absent from work an average of 2.6 more days per year than non-smokers (CDC). Tobacco use is also a leading cause of presenteeism, where employees are present but not fully productive (American Productivity Audit). By helping employees quit, companies can reduce absenteeism and presenteeism, enhancing overall productivity.
Supporting smoking cessation can lead to substantial cost savings. Smoking-related illnesses cost the U.S. over US$300 billion annually, including nearly US$170 billion for direct medical care and over US$156 billion in lost productivity (CDC). Reducing smoking rates among employees can significantly lower health insurance premiums and related healthcare expenses, benefiting your bottom line.
