While employers and health plans cannot force someone to stop smoking, most offer smoking cessation programs as part of their well-being benefit options - to support and provide resources to help people who smoke quit. Sometimes, these programs are a means to offset a tobacco surcharge that is in place.

A resilient workforce is vital because it can mitigate the negative effects of stress on employees' mental and physical health, creativity, focus, and productivity. It can lead to happier, more agile employees and can ultimately contribute to the success of the organization.
Workers often avoid revealing their tobacco use due to concerns about workplace reputation, avoiding health insurance surcharges, maintaining personal privacy, not wanting to be treated differently or nagged to quit. Almost 72% of workers admitted to concealing their tobacco use from employers.
Smoking cessation in the workplace is essential because healthier employees lead to a more productive work environment, fewer sick days, lower healthcare costs, and improved workplace relations and morale.
