Smokers Vs. Non-Smokers at Work

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

In Melbourne Australia some employers are stopping the frequency of cigarette breaks, while other companies are deciding to hire non-smokers over smokers due to the thought that smokers are less productive workers.

Some research has shown that smokers are more likely to miss work compared to those who do not smoke.

It is common for those that do not smoke to consider their co-workers that smoke as taking too many cigarette breaks while the non-smokers continue to work.

Since work and productivity are important it is clear that quitting smoking has endless benefits.

Hypnosis is one of the best ways to break the smoking habit.
