A smokefree workforce: tools and support for workplaces
Thursday 14 May 11am -12pm (via Teams)
We offer free support, advice, vape kits and medication, to help your workforce get and stay smokefree.
Encouraging employees to quit smoking gives numerous benefits to both employers and employees.
Why it matters for employers:
Healthier workforce and reduced absenteeism – reduced smoking-related illnesses lead to fewer sick days and increased productivity.
Positive work environment – promotes a supportive workplace culture that prioritises wellbeing.
Cost savings – lower healthcare costs, decreased absenteeism and presenteeism contribute to financial savings for the organisation.
Why it matters for employees:
There are many benefits to stopping smoking, from improving physical and mental health to saving money:
- Cutting cancer risk. Stopping smoking reduces the risk of at least 16 types of cancer, including lung cancer.
- Lowering the risk of lung and heart conditions, including heart attack, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- Feeling healthier. Many people report breathing more easily after giving up and that they have more energy.
- Improving mental wellbeing. Potential positive feelings from smoking a cigarette only last for a short time. Stopping smoking can lower depression, anxiety, and stress in the long term.
- Healthier appearance. Smoking can damage the skin and make it look grey, but stopping can help reverse this. Giving up smoking also stops teeth becoming stained.
- Saving money. Smoking can cost thousands of pounds a year. What else could they use that money for?
