He was raised on a tobacco farm and started smoking as a teenager. He’s tried to quit over the years, for various reasons, but he still smokes two packs a day.

He knows the risks. He has the motivation. But the addiction to nicotine is stronger. He needs clinical-level support to quit smoking.

Smoking two packs a day costs him
$3,650 a year. Ever wonder what it
costs your company?

The risks associated with smoking are well established. As the CDC (Center for Disease Control) states, “Smoking causes death.” The relative risk of stroke in heavy smokers (40-plus cigarettes a day) is twice that of light smokers (less than 10 cigarettes a day).

The CDC estimates the following risks for smokers,
compared to non-smokers:

• 2 to 4 times more likely to develop coronary heart disease
• 2 to 4 times more likely to have a stroke
• 23 times more likely to develop lung cancer (men)
• 13 times more likely to develop lung cancer (women)
• 12 to 13 times more likely to die from chronic obstructive lung diseases, such as chronic bronchitis and emphysema
