From smoke-free building to tobacco-free campus—a step in the right direction.Tobacco-free campus policies prohibit smoking on all company property including company vehicles. Some workplaces have expanded their policies to include all forms of tobacco, such as chew tobacco or dip. These types of policies better protect employees and visitors from the many known dangers of secondhand smoke by more comprehensively eliminating it from your property. They create a cleaner and safer workplace. And they project an image of health and wellness, which can be especially important to hospitals, healthcare providers, and schools. Perhaps the biggest benefit of campus-wide policies is that they provide stronger support for the 70% of smokers who want to quit. Employees won't have to walk by other smokers on their way to work, and taking a cigarette break will become much more inconvenient when workers can no longer simply step outside. When employees do quit, it can result in significant cost savings for your business. Click here to learn more about how you implement a campus-wide policy.
