A costly reality for companies: the cigarette break
In a professional world where every minute counts, smoking in the workplace is no longer simply a public health issue. It has become a major economic issue. Time spent smoking, combined with more frequent sick leave for smokers, weighs heavily on companies’ productivity and profitability.
Let’s take a concrete example:
An employee smokes 20 cigarettes a day. Let’s say he smokes 10 times during working hours, at a rate of 10 minutes per break. That’s 100 minutes a day, or 1h40.
- Average hourly cost of an employee (including charges): €20
- 1h40 = approx. €33.33 per day
- Over 24 working days per month: €800 per month
- Yearly: €9,600 per smoking employee
In a company with 30 employees, if 10 of them smoke, the annual cost rises to €96,000. And that’s just a minimum estimate. After all, non-smoking colleagues often fall into line: they also take breaks to avoid being socially penalized. This multiplies the impact on overall productivity.
An underestimated health and organizational impact
Smoking employees are statistically more absent than non-smokers. Colds, recurrent bronchitis, chronic fatigue… these are all ailments directly linked to tobacco consumption. An INRS study reveals that an employee who smokes is absent on average 2.5 times more than his non-smoking colleagues. This results in :
- Internal disorganization
- Costly replacements
- Reduced team motivation.
Beyond the cost, it’s the working environment that deteriorates. An environment invaded by the comings and goings of smokers, by odors, and by the involuntary exclusion of those who don’t smoke, generates tensions. The company becomes a place for breaks rather than performance.
MyLaserTabac: an innovative, fast and cost-effective solution
In response, MyLaserTabac offers an immediate and lasting solution: a single session of pain-free, replacement-free, drug-free auricular laser smoking cessation.
- Session price: €190 inc.
- Success rate: over 90%.

Let’s do the math:
At €9,600 saved per year for a smoker who has stopped smoking, investing €190 in a Laser Tabac session means a x50 return on investment in the first year.
This is not just an economic gain, it’s a transformation of corporate culture.
More than just tobacco: a comprehensive approach to addictions
MyLaserTabac doesn’t just stop smoking. Today, we also help companies fight against :

Each service can be customized, adapted to the company’s reality, and integrated into a strong and rewarding CSR approach.
