Who needs a tobacco use survey these days to assess prevalence in their population?

The answer might be you and your company.

Here’s why: With more remote workers, smoking, vaping, and chew tobacco use in the workplace today aren’t always obvious.  And that’s led some company leaders to believe tobacco addiction isn’t a big issue anymore. Out of sight, out of mind, out of HR planning.

It’s true that there have been some decreases in smoking rates in certain geographic areas. However, tobacco use is still an issue for nearly 51 million American adults.

In fact, one adult tobacco survey found that in the U.S., as many 1 in 4 adults were current cigarette smokers (West Virginia); 1 in 10 adults currently used smokeless tobacco products (Wyoming); and 1 in 15 adults currently used e-cigarettes (Oklahoma).
