Trend: Companies Take a Stronger Stance Against Smoking
Summary
In an effort to reduce expenses and boost profit margins, companies are increasingly focusing on managing employee health care costs, particularly those linked to smoking.
Article
Businesses today are continually seeking methods to cut costs and enhance profitability. One significant area of expense is the fringe benefit costs associated with employee health care.
Many companies are examining how the lifestyle choices of their employees, such as smoking, affect their financial health. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the cost of medical care and lost productivity amounts to approximately $3,856 per smoker annually. Male smokers spend an additional $15,800 on medical care over their lifetimes and miss four more workdays per year compared to nonsmokers. Female smokers face $17,500 in extra medical expenses and miss two additional days of work annually compared to nonsmoking women.
As a result, some companies are opting not to hire smokers or require employees to quit smoking to maintain their jobs. Others are instituting policies to limit smoking on company premises and are offering incentives to encourage employees to quit.
For those struggling to quit, various cessation methods are available. One potential solution comes from Safer Smokes Inc., which offers a product named Bravo. This smoke mimics the experience of a tobacco cigarette but differs in three crucial ways: it contains no nicotine, no tobacco, and none of the harmful carcinogens found in traditional cigarettes. Instead, Bravo is made from enzyme-treated lettuce leaves.
Dr. Puzant Torigian, chairman and founder of Safer Smokes, explains, "You eliminate the nicotine and harmful tobacco without losing the physical act of smoking. Once nicotine is out of your system, the urge to smoke diminishes, allowing you to gradually overcome the habit just as you gradually formed it."
"For smokers facing the challenge of quitting or facing job loss, it’s crucial to find a cessation strategy that fits their needs," says Torigian. "Bravo is the only product on the market that allows you to quit nicotine and tobacco immediately while slowly stepping away from the smoking habit."
