The smoking habit is on the way out, but millions of workers are still hooked. Smoking
still costs your company plenty, and not just in direct health care outlays. Much of the
real cost and productivity drain of smoking is hidden.
- Smokers are much more likely than non-smokers to lose work days to illness or to
just feeling "woozy."
- If smokers are not allowed to smoke on the job, they think about their smoke
break, not their work. Or if they can't smoke at all, the tension just builds and
builds.
- Smoking drains significant disposible income from your employees, undercutting
compensation efforts and cost of living adjustments.
- Smoking adds to your health costs dramatically, causing illnesses both small and
large.
- Smokers drink much more coffee, eat more sweets, and take more breaks in general
than non-smokers. This is a hidden drain on productivity.
- Smokers also tend to drink more alcohol than non-smokers.
- In general, the smoking lifestyle is just not upbeat, healthy, productive.

Before getting into detail on No Smoke we wish to make one point clear.
There are many ways to quit smoking, from hypnosis to herbal therapies to nicotine gum.
And here's the key:
- No method will work unless the smoker is truly motivated to quit.
- Almost any method will work--even going cold turkey--if the smoker is
truly motivated to quit.
No Smoke uses both serious analysis sections and fun video game sections to
help the smoker get to the bottom of the motivation question. This is the key not only
to the decision to quit smoking, but to the decision to maintain health and fitness in
general. It's a lifestyle question. And it has important bottom-line ramifications for any
business.
