The American Lung Association states that nicotine single handedly kills
an estimated 400,000 plus Americans each year from diseases related
to smoking.
Additional health care costs to businesses for smokers is well over
$400.00 per smoker per year. Smokers can cost employers an extra $50.00
per year for accidental injury and related workers compensation costs.
Its been reported
that smokers have twice the accident rate of non-smokers due in part
to loss of attention, eye irritations and cough. The percentage of smokers
to become disabled and retire early is 5 to 6 times greater than non-smokers.
On average, smokers are absent 50% more often than nonsmokers. A study
found that cigarette smokers missed 5.5 more days of work per year than
non-smoking employees. Smokers cost you temporary replacements, low
productivity as well as a drop in morale among employees who are on
the job and must cope with the absences.
Now if that wasn't enough add to that the time lost each day due to
cigarette breaks. An average of 3.5 cigarette breaks are taken per day,
ranging 5-15 minutes each time and an additional 1-2 times during non-break
periods by almost every person who smokes.
Employers who make a one time minimal investment in there employees,
will make back the cost of therapy within the first year. Compared that
to what you directly pay out on average each year in healthcare costs,
temps, training and new employees.
Employers find their staff will be more efficient, productive, attentive,
with more energy, and overall better health.
With the news of recent
litigations against employees who smoke its in everyones interest to
find out more about this amazingly successful laser therapy
