Stopping Smoking

Supporting staff to quit smoking leads to significant benefits for both employees and employers.

Smokers have increased risks of serious health conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, stroke and respiratory illnesses. By supporting staff to quit smoking you reduce this risk level, improve the health of your workforce, improve workplace productivity and reduce absenteeism from smoking related issues.

Offering and promoting support demonstrates your commitment to employee health and wellbeing and can improve job satisfaction levels within your workforce.
