Business

Businesses have a big impact on attitudes towards, and knowledge about the impact of exposure to tobacco smoke. Employers and managers need to think of how many people are employed within the business, or who buy or uses its services.

There are many ways in which businesses can impact on the community within which it operates. Consider where your staff, work… in an office or outside, or in people homes.
