How do 100% TFS policies affect teachers and staff who use tobacco?
A 100% TFS policy often gives school employees the added motivation needed to cut down their tobacco use or quit altogether. School districts generally work with voluntary health agencies, hospitals, health departments, employee assistance programs and other community organizations to support those employees who use tobacco and want to quit. A number of school districts provide financial support for employees to attend smoking cessation classes and/or to purchase nicotine replacement therapy.
