Breathing Easier: How to help employees stamp out tobacco use
The use of tobacco in products like cigarettes, e-cigarettes, and chewing tobacco is linked to problems with oral — and overall — health. People who smoke have a 10x higher risk for oral cancer compared to nonsmokers,1 and at least 28 cancer-causing chemicals have been found in smokeless tobacco products.2 Plus, many unknowns around vaping still exist. The tooth staining, bad breath, and dry mouth that often come with tobacco use may appear innocuous, but these issues can point to more concerning oral health problems like gum disease and tooth decay — plus have serious implications for overall health.
Join us as our speakers discuss how employers can provide tobacco cessation benefits and support programs to help reduce tobacco-related risk among their workers and promote better oral and overall health.
