Make It Your Business: Strategies for a Tobacco Free Workforce

Tobacco is the single greatest cause of premature death in the United States today. Adopting a tobacco-free campus policy is one of the most important decisions employers can make for their employees and for their bottom-line.

Make It Your Business is a free program offered through the Tobacco Free Coalition for Tulsa County and the Tulsa Health Department to businesses and organizations across Tulsa County. The Make It Your Business Program teaches businesses and organizations strategies and provides the necessary tools to implement tobacco free workplace policies. Participants learn the economic and health benefits of making their company tobacco-free, as well as the importance of offering tobacco cessation services to employees to help them quit. 

Areas where a tobacco-free workplace has a positive impact for an employer include:
  • Protecting your employees health
  • Lowering your costs
  • Increasing productivity and morale
  • Reducing absenteeism
