If employers choose to implement a smoke free workplace, they will need to do their due diligence and ensure that effective consultation and engagement has been achieved. This resource has been prepared to provide employers some handy tips to consider when embarking on this journey; however, it is important that organisations consider all aspects and devise a strategy that is right for their business and employees.
In recent years, consumer behaviour has shifted significantly, with vaping and the use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) becoming increasingly popular. This trend indicates that it is no longer just traditional smoking that employers need to consider when developing workplace policies. To address this evolving landscape, it is recommended that employers devise a policy that includes provisions for both traditional tobacco products and modern alternatives such as e-cigarettes and vaping devices, ensuring a comprehensive approach to workplace health and safety.
This resource can be used in conjunction with the Sample Smoke Free Workplace Policy and Sample Letter to inform employees that a Smoke Free Workplace is being considered.
