Tobacco dependence treatment is effective and improves the health and wellbeing of the person smoking and their family, as well as saving them money. On average if you quit you could save around £2,500 each year.
There are recognised inequalities in the UK, with approximately 1 in 4 smokers working in routine and physical labour occupations. This is double the number of smokers in managerial and professional roles.
People who smoke take an average of 2 or 3 days more sick leave each year. In combination with lost productivity from regular cigarette breaks, employees who smoke are estimated to cost UK businesses £7.5 billion each year (UKHSA).
