Tobacco-Free Works is a coalition of business leaders who are dedicated to reducing youth tobacco use in order to promote healthy communities where businesses succeed.

Tobacco use is not only a scourge on peoples’ health, it’s also bad for business. Employees who use tobacco tend to be less healthy, leading to more days out of work and higher healthcare costs. Tobacco use makes finding reliable, healthy employees that much more difficult in an already challenging labor market.

Acting now to reduce youth tobacco use is an investment in our future workforce. That's why we support solutions like ending the sale of flavored tobacco products that lure kids into becoming life-long tobacco users.

Nearly 9 out of 10 smokers start smoking at or before they turn 18 years old.

That's why efforts to limit the access and appeal of tobacco products to young people are key to ensuring the U.S. has a healthy workforce for the future with better productivity and lower healthcare costs for American businesses.
