How do I provide stop smoking advice to smokers
who want to quit?
More than 70% of smokers would like to quit and when a no-smoking
policy is implemented, many decide to stop smoking. Smokers
who seek professional help and use effective therapies double
their chance of success.
When organisations introduce workplace no-smoking policies
it is important to offer help to smokers who wish to stop,
this demonstrates a firm commitment to promoting employees'
health and well being and reinforces the reasons for restricting
smoking in the workplace.
