Executive Summary:

It’s tempting to believe that one program can help everyone, but when it comes to quitting tobacco, the traditional “one-size-fits-all” approach to wellness just doesn’t cut it. Unlike other lifestyle changes people make that require gradual behavior modifications over a lifetime, quitting tobacco requires intensive planning, correct use of medications, and skills to overcome the emotional, physical, and psychological impact of giving up nicotine, a powerful substance shown to be just as addictive as heroin.

Tobacco cessation is still the most cost-effective benefit you can offer your adult employees, but only if it generates positive outcomes. If you want to make a real impact on tobacco use in your organization, it’s time to consider carving your tobacco cessation benefit out of your wellness program and offering a specialized program that is evidence based and follows USPHS guidelines. With the help of such a program, tobacco users have a much greater chance of successfully quitting in a relatively short period of time, allowing them to turn their attention to improving their overall wellness. Based on the presentation given by special guest speakers Dr. Steven A. Schroeder and Dr. John R. Hughes, this white paper discusses the unique challenges of nicotine addiction, the tools necessary to successfully overcome it, and what to look for in a specialized tobacco cessation program for your organization, so you can improve your ROI.
