Excellent article, would love to see more in-depth analysis of research in popular smoking alternatives (i.e. e-cigarettes or 'vapers') in future briefs. |

This report gives a very interesting point of view. Now is what do we do with these data ? How the employers can incite and support their employees to stop smoking ? Would it be interesting to target sectors of employment as the conscruction with campaigns especially because smoking outside is not forbidden? Moreover I’m surprised to see that there are many smokers in the sector of the extraction of the gas and the oil, it seems to me that it is an explosive combination ! |

A very interesting and easy-to-read document. Any employer interested in saving money and improving employees' health outcomes should find it useful. I assume the rest of the series will be equally helpful. |

Lots of useful/interesting data and sources cited. Looking forward to future reports on this topic. Would like to know more about the psychology of quitting and what the barriers are. Thanks very much. |

Great research. First time I've seen smoking prevalence by industry and occupation. Insightful! |

This is a very interesting article and I appreciated the statistics. The one thing that I wonder is while some of the numbers do sound quite large; I wonder what the actual % of the population would be; how big of a problem is this really now considering all the changes that have been made to packaging etc...? It still amazes me when I drive by the local high schools how many young people still take up smoking. You wonder why? Changing behaviour as you would need to do for an addition is one of the hardest things as people we can do. |

It is a very interesting document. It raises awareness on the costs of smoking not only for workers, but also for employers. |

Thank you for these statistics and the positive message that it is possible, pro active, cost effective and worth the effort to assist employees in their smoking cessation efforts. |

The breakdowns by province and industry were very interesting and helpful. I will be sure to share some of the information with my co-workers who work in Employee Wellness roles. Thank you. |

Very helpful information. I am currently working on the impact of key risk factors on reducing demand on the health system. This type of information facilitates justifying reducing susceptibility for youth especially targetting their family and community environment and workplaces (to address parents of these children) for an upstream approach to reducing smoking rates. Multi-prong approach. |

Very interesting article. Any solution would be difficult to implement. In general, it would seem that a higher percentage of smokers are less educated with lower incomes than average Canadians. By nature, they would likely be in careers that may not offer coverage for cessation programs or devices. In my opinion, these smokers already have a built in reason to quit that can be paralleled to the health factor... the financial factor! If they cannot quit for financial reasons, would they not be encountered with the same types of roadblocks for health reasons? With so many benefits in quitting... addiction is truly a mystery! Not sure what can be done to help smokers overcome this habit??? |
