Smoke-Free Worksite Testimonial:

“In an effort to stop the work place tobacco problem we had 3 years ago, we contacted the American Lung Association. They helped us write a no tobacco policy, custom fit for our company, provided us with training, education, and mentored us through the process of stopping tobacco use during our working hours. I can’t say enough about the kind consistent manner in which the American Lung Association patiently taught our employees who suffered from tobacco addiction to quit. Education was the key. To all business owners or managers, count the number of cigarettes smoked in your company a day. Calculate the time wasted smoking a single cigarette, the cost adds up quickly. This is a recession no- brainer to help the bottom line. Employees feel better, productivity goes up, along with customer satisfaction. It’s a win for the employee, the company, and the customer.”
