Incentivize Smoking Cessation

As an employer offering a health plan, it’s in your best interest to encourage employees to stop smoking, and winter is the perfect time. Smokers have a higher risk of getting frostbite than non-smokers, due to their blood vessels not expanding fast enough to warm cold extremities. Consider helping your employees stop smoking by:

• Making your company property smoke-free.
• Ensuring that your health plan offers tobacco cessation benefits.
• Encouraging your employees to take Health Risk Appraisals.
• Offer incentives to quit smoking.
• Offer education and support for tobacco cessation.
