Health care costs, and loss of productivity to businesses for cigarette smokers is ASTRONOMICAL! It has been estimated that each cigarette smoker raises his/her boss’s health bills by more than $1,800 a year and costs $1,900 annually in lost productivity. Cigarette smoking employees can also cost employers money for accidental injury, and related workers compensation costs. Cigarette smokers have double the job related accidents versus non-smokers due in part to their weaker attention span, coughing, and eye irritations. The likelihood of a cigarette smoking employee to become disabled and retire at a younger age is six times greater than a non-smoking employee.

Cigarette smokers are absent approximately 50% more than non-smokers. A survey revealed that cigarette smokers missed 5.5 more days on the job than non-smokers, therefore costing employers for temporary workers, less productivity, and a decrease in morale with employees that have to cover for the absent worker.

A cigarette smoker will usually take an average of 3.5 cigarette breaks per day. Each cigarette break will average from 5-15 minutes each. Therefore an employer can lose about 52.5 minutes of productivity per day per smoking employee. This staggering loss doesn’t even include the amount of time that it takes that person to refocus, and resume the speed of their normal productive tasks.

Addiction Eliminators believes that our clinical trial for smoking cessation may be a wise investment for all employers of any size company. The return on your investment may be seen in actual DOLLARS, productivity, energy, and better health from employees who are now “former cigarette smokers”. Employers may also enjoy a higher retention rate and loyalty from employees that acknowledge the interest of their employer to improve the quality of their lives.
