Tobacco and smoking cessation
Employers spend an average of $3,383 annually per smoking employee in additional health care costs and lost productivity. Tobacco use affects absenteeism, productivity, insurance, work-
ers’ compensation, disability, mortality and more.
On average, smokers are absent 50 percent more often than nonsmokers. Helping one smoker to quit reduces the medical costs associated with heart attack and stroke by $47 in the first year, and by $853 during the next seven years. In fact, the
lifetime health care costs of a smoker exceed those of a nonsmoker by more than $6,000 Learn more.
