Workplace Wellbeing

SmokeFree Support

As part of the Smokefree Somerset initiative, Somerset Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Somerset Council to deliver a pioneering pilot project supporting local employers to create healthier, smokefree workplaces, improve workforce health, reduce smoking-related absence and create healthier workplaces.

Working with Numatic International (Chard), The Roberts Group (Bridgwater) and Marston Foods (Frome), the year-long project has provided employees with access to free stop smoking support, therapies and medication through Smokefree Somerset, alongside tailored one-to-one and group guidance.

This SmokeFree workplace toolkit produced has been designed to give you clear, practical support for your organisation.

Inside, you’ll find example and customisable policy templates, along with easy-to-follow action and implementation plans. There’s also a ready-to-use media pack, so you can quickly brand and print materials for your colleagues and employees.

We also recommend taking a few minutes to watch the accompanying video, where businesses involved in the pilot project share their experiences. It’s a great way to hear first-hand how others have approached creating a smokefree workplace, along with the challenges they faced and the positive impact it’s had.
