What are the benefits of a smoke-free workplace?
Smoke-free workplaces protect the health of nonsmokers and provide an environment that encourages smokers to either quit or cut back
Totally smoke-free workplaces, such as smoke-free campuses, have an even greater effect on tobacco consumption than policies that allow smoking in designated areas. Additional benefits include: long-term success in quitting smoking, lower consumption rates among non-quitters, and an increased cost savings for employers, including costs associated with: fire risk, damage to property and furnishings, cleaning, worker's compensation, disability, retirement, injuries, and life insurance.
