The Alyfe Tobacco Free Policy Toolkit is for organizations to utilize when serving employee populations with elevated rates of tobacco usage. This valuable toolkit provides the necessary support, information, guided worksheets and instructions for the launch and maintenance of employee-wide tobacco free policies.

Tobacco usage is still hovering around 20% nationally (CDC, November 2019) and remains the number one preventable cause of death and disease (Surgeon General report, 2018). Smoking accounts for nearly one in five deaths annually (NEJM, October 22, 2020). Now with the onset of COVID-19, it’s never been more important to protect your workforce against respiratory illness.  According to a recent study from the University of California-San Francisco, smokers are almost twice as likely to suffer a severe case of COVID versus non-smokers. 

Like any workplace policy, a tactical long-term plan combined with a well-planned engagement strategy provides the best chance for success with minimal noise. In the case of something as precious as your employee’s health, also being prepared to support their behavior change needs is essential. More than 55% of smokers attempt to quit each year, yet only about 7% are successful (CDC, Fact Sheet).

To help aid in the improvement of safety and daily lives of individuals, Alyfe has developed this guide to help you promote healthy behaviors through the implementation of tobacco free workplace guidelines. In addition, Alyfe can also provide consultation and implementation of tobacco free programs to support your policy within the workforce.
