Smoking


I've been given the dubious honour of starting off the smoking policy within my workplace, but the bosses appear to be dead set against it..............any ideas for conquering heirachy?

Thanks............Paula

My corporate bosses didn't get serious about smoking cessation workshops until our CEO died of lung cancer after years of smoking. Sometimes only scare tactics work! If you have an employee who died of lung cancer the family might be willing to let you dedicate your smoking cessation efforts in that person's memory. The reminder of a co-worker's death because of smoking can be a powerful motivator.
