Greetings Good Company Inc. Associates,
Do you know, more people in the United States die prematurely due to tobacco use than any
other cause? Yes! Smoking and using other forms of tobacco impact almost every organ in the body.
Using tobacco can lead to cancers, cardiovascular and respiratory issues, and even death. Research has
shown that implementing tobacco-free worksite policies can help users quit and extend their lives.
To protect and enhance our indoor air quality and to contribute to the health and well-being of
all employees, Good Company Inc. campus shall be entirely tobacco-free effective January 1, 2020. Use
of tobacco and smoking products, including chewing tobacco and electronic cigarettes (E-cigarettes), is
banned from the workplace, except as designated in the attached policy.
As a result of implementation of this policy; we project savings of nearly $5,000 annually due to
reduced absenteeism, increased productivity, and decreased healthcare costs. This cost savings is
passed directly back to you through robust benefits packages at a lower cost than other companies with
comparable benefits packages. Additionally, we happy to announce the availability of a variety of aides
and programs designed to help you stop smoking or using other tobacco products at no cost to you.
These resources include free medications and telephone counseling through QUITPLAN Services, group
counseling through the American Lung Association’s Freedom from Smoking course, and web-based
cessation support.
We appreciate your cooperation and compliance with this policy.
Sincerely,
Camel Joe
Good Company, CEO
