creates a health promotion environment

Smokefree air ordinances create an environment that promotes good health and encourages smokers to quit.

Eliminating smoking in the workplace is one of the most effective ways to help tobacco users who want to quit.
Smoking employees cost their company an average of $1,429 per smoker per year in increased health care costs over nonsmoking employees. (NC Prevention Partners, 2003)
A carefully planned and implemented effort by your business to address the effects of tobacco smoke on your employees' and customers' health shows that your company cares.
As smoking by employees and customers is reduced or eliminated, your company may be able to negotiate lower health, life, disability, and fire insurance coverage.
