Why do so many companies today offer a smoking cessation program?  Because it will save your company both time and money.

Productivity
Many employees take smoke breaks throughout the day which is lost productivity.  At two or three breaks per day of ten minutes each, you are looking at two hours a week of lost productivity or 3 full weeks per year.  If you are paying your employees $20.00 per hour, then that is about $2400 per year.  If you have  10 or 100 or even 300 employees that smoke, this adds up to an enormous impact on productivity and costs!

Sick Leave Pay
An employee that smokes is absent much more often than a person who does not smoke due to illness such as asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia.

Insurance Costs (Health and Life)
Insurance will cost you the employer much less for both health and life coverage for a Non-Smoker vs. a Smoker.

Improve the health of your employees
Smokers who are able to quit smoking (or chewing tobacco) will see many benefits immediately; improved breathing, easier to walk and/or exercise, better quality of sleep, and much more energy.

Deliver a significant benefit to your employees
Clinical studies show that 75% of people want to quit smoking.  Why not help them along by offering them a quit smoking program that is easy and drug free.  All employees who quit smoking will enhance their lives and the lives of their family members.

Deliver aesthetic benefits to both coworkers and customers
Think of how much more professional your offices will appear if there aren’t smokers standing outside.  Do your employees interact closely with other employees who might be allergic to smoke?  Do your employees work nearby customers that might be offended by the smell of smoke?

Why should your company choose Meridian Laser to help your employees quit smoking?
This treatment is simple in that you don’t have to take medicine for months, a smoker can stop smoking after only one laser session.  In addition, we provide one on one counseling and devise an individually tailored plan to help combat all the “habits” associated with smoking.  The success rates are better than using the patch, gum and lozenge.

Participation and Costs
Increased success with support of coworkers and family 
What we are suggesting is that your company offer the services of Meridian Laser Quit Smoking as part of a corporate program for your employees (and possibly their spouses too).  Companies definitely benefit by having fewer smokers on staff and many smokers say they want to quit but might need some extra encouragement.  Overall, by implementing a Smoking Cessation program, your company will save thousands of dollars in health care costs.
