This launch is part of FirstAssists ongoing commitment to delivering proactive wellbeing solutions to businesses and their staff.Ian Sparks, Managing Director, FirstAssist Services comments, Employers are beginning to realise that a healthy workforce is a more productive one and stopping smoking is the greatest single step individuals can take to improve their health and life expectancy.

Growing up in smoke

While anti-smoking campaigns relentlessly warn against the impact of secondary smoke on children, many parents tend to ignore the warning signs and continue smoking around their children. *Carolyn spoke to Semthamera Dhaver about her childhood, her parents smoking and living with asthma."Pregnant, breastfeeding? Your baby can harm your smoking." I laughed at the parody of words printed on the T-shirt of a young woman I once saw through the glass windows of the smoking section of a restaurant.

Be Good To Your Mother

You've quit smoking, you religiously slather on sunscreen, you stopped eating red meat and you drink green tea for its antioxidants, all in the name of being health conscious. So how can you be unaware that you are still killing yourself with almost every part of your daily routine?

Your electric alarm clock goes off next to your ear, after giving you a night of harmful magnetic field exposure; you hop into the shower and lather up with antibacterial body wash that reduces your immunity; you shampoo and condition your hair with products that could be full of pesticides that enter your pores that have just been opened by the soothing hot water.

You moisturize your face and body with lotions that smell terrific but are loaded with dangerous dyes and fragrances; your deodorant leaves more aluminum than protection on your skin; you brush your teeth with toothpaste that has hydrogen peroxide and manganese, neurotoxicity hazards.
