BC
Stats conducted a survey of public service employees
in 2009 and we found out that:
Approximately 9.9% of
public service employees smoke.
Employees who smoke
reported that important facilitators to them
quitting successfully would be access to smoking
cessation product and counselling support.
The Quittin' Time program was
designed to provide workplace support, counselling,
texting support services, and reimbursement for
smoking cessation products.

Employee health
is a key priority in our Corporate Human Resources
plan. It's one way the BC Public Service is working
at 'Being the Best' and why we've developed
workplace health initiatives designed to promote
employee health and well-being.
