Cigarette smoking is an addiction to nicotine. And, it’s expensive. The costs associated with smokers are dramatically higher, and it’s easy to see why – We all know that smoking causes significant health issues, and this risk factor can affect insurance rates. But, did you know that smoking has many hidden costs, including lack of productivity, difficulty with concentration, and more. Nicotine is so addictive that people begin withdrawing literally the moment that they finish their cigarette. Given this sobering statistic, one can only imagine the impact of smoking on a company’s operating expenses.

While the financial costs are significant, the personal costs are even greater for those that are addicted to nicotine. Furthermore, the process of quitting smoking can be exceptionally difficult as people repeatedly try to give up cigarettes with little success.

Recognizing that quitting can be a daunting task, many companies are implementing corporate wellness programs to support permanent smoking cessation for their employees. Designed by physicians and custom tailored for Corporate Wellness clients, StopCold was specifically created to overcome success obstacles and deliver permanent results. Combined with patient-tailored protocols and interventions, the StopCold program offers a unique blend of innovative therapies and traditional treatment in the context of ongoing physician and counselor support.
