    How is Smoke Free Birmingham affecting your organisation?

    The Health Act 2006 requires all workplaces to be Smoke Free which includes enclosed and partially enclosed areas and most vehicles.

    Most organisations have incorporated appropriate changes whether this be having to remove smoking areas or display proper signage. The bigger issue relates to smokers themselves in terms of them needing to leave site for their fix to the impact this has on non-smokers too. For example, if 30% of your workforce currently smoke, their ‘smoking group’ offers more than just a chance to gratify their nicotine needs.  By making changes, some of your employees social and psychological needs may not be met which could cause disruption.

    Personal Empowerment Therapy can assist in providing Smoking Cessation therapy coupled with talk therapy to process thoughts and feelings.
