SmokeFree support

Why become a smokefree workplace?

A smokefree workplace can help:

• Improve employee health and wellbeing
• Reduce smoking-related sickness absence
• Support staff to make healthier choices
• Create a healthier working environment
• Demonstrate your commitment to workforce wellbeing

Businesses involved in the SmokeFree pilot project worked together to produce the downloadable toolkit below. It provides practical guidance and resources that can be used by other organisations looking to create a smokefree workplace. Within the toolkit, you’ll find a range of example and customisable policy templates, along with straightforward action and implementation plans to help you put your approach into practice. There is also a ready-to-use media pack, enabling you to quickly brand, print and share materials with 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 offers valuable first-hand insight into how organisations have approached creating a smokefree workplace, the challenges they encountered, and the positive impact the initiative has had on their workforce.
