- 7 days a week service. 0900 2000 Monday to Friday, 1000 1800 Weekends
- Phone, SMS, Email, Twitter & Skype support
- NRT prescription service available
What is it?
In addition to being the biggest killer in the UK, smokers have a high impact on business;
- Money - Individual smokers cost anything between £1,664 and £7,774* each year
- Morale effects of fag breaks on non-smokers morale
- Productivity lost through breaks and ill health
- Health/absenteeism smokers more likely to get sick
- Corporate Social Responsibility your people are your biggest asset
- Public image/Brand equity smokers outside shops/offices/factories
Does it work?
Any smoker making a QUIT attempt is twice as likely to succeed when supported. Our evidence shows that Pro-Active QUITLINE support makes the attempt up to five times more likely to succeed. In an area of addiction where four to seven QUIT attempts are common before success, this represents a significant increase in your staffs chances of quitting.
By being able to support single smokers we can maximise the chances of helping individuals that would otherwise not receive pro-active assistance. The success of an individual has often lead previously hard to reach peers to commit to a QUIT attempt also. Then at least we can stop you crying.
How can we pay for it?
Pro-Active QUITLINE can be paid for monthly or in a single payment. Some organisations place more emphasis on the smoker, in which case we are able to accept a proportion of the donation fee direct from salary.
