The
True Cost of an Employee-SmokerThe
True Cost of an Employee-SmokerThe true cost of an employee-smoker encompasses far more than just higher healthcare premiums. In fact, the added indirect costs are more than double the expense of the higher medical premiums your company pays for your higher risk employee-smokers.
In addition to elevated healthcare premiums your company is also burdened with costs of:
 | Lost on-the-job productivity due extended work breaks |
| Higher absenteeism due to more frequent illness |
| Cost of training existing employees to fill-in for absent smokers |
| Hiring of replacement workers in the prolonged absence of an employee-smoker. |
| Premature death of employee smokers at middle-age, at the height of their value to the employer |
| Property loss and burn care resulting from smoking |
| Extended prenatal care for low-birth-weight infants of female employees who smoke |
| Costs associated with containing environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). |
Heightened awareness of the costs attributed to employee-smoking along with broadening legislation to curtail smoking in the workplace has led to proliferation of smoking cessation programs. In selecting a program that is right for your company, your first consideration should be the PROVEN, documented effectiveness of the program you are considering.
In its 35 years serving the needs of employers worldwide, SmokEnders has consistently been chosen over other methodologies as the program-of-choice of leading corporations, healthcare and educational institutions. These organizations realize that the effectiveness of the SmokEnders program is unequalled, as PROVEN in countless independent studies including a comprehensive study of 8000 SmokEnders graduates conducted under the auspices of the prestigious Johns Hopkins University.
SmokEnders uses neither scare tactics, aversion therapy, herbal remedies, oral pharmaceuticals, nicotine replacement gums or patches to consistently return a success rate unequalled by ANY methodology. Why?
SmokEnders eliminates BOTH the nicotine AND the psychological dependency of tobacco. Following the fourth week of the SmokEnders program, your employees will be free of the bond of nicotine dependency. By the conclusion of the 6 or 7 week seminar series, your employee will also be free of the psychological dependency of tobacco, a KEY element that neither pharmaceuticals or nicotine replacement methodologies can provide.
Employees will "learn" how NOT to smoke. They will learn to understand their stressors and combat them. They will learn to re-pattern their daily activities to counter triggers that could lead to smoking in the future. They will become more productive, healthy employees fully in control of their lives having realized they CAN achieve success and release themselves from the bonds of tobacco.
