Use the framework in this tool to evaluate the efficiency and enforcement of your company’s smoking policy. The procedures outlined in this policy sample promote a smoke-free workplace. The audit's relevance lies in verifying compliance with these regulations, ensuring that no tobacco products are sold on company premises, and assessing the implementation of sponsored smoking cessation programs aimed at assisting employees who wish to quit smoking.

This policy provides clear criteria to measure compliance against, ranging from physical inspections of facilities and vehicles to reviewing health promotion activities and cessation support offered by the company. Additionally, you can assess whether communication about the policy is adequate across all levels of the organization and if there are effective penalties for noncompliance, thus ensuring that the policy is not only comprehensive but also actively upheld. 

Sample procedures include:

• The executive management may designate smoke-free outdoor areas – especially entranceways.
• Cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco will not be sold at any building or vending machine owned, leased or operated by the company.
• Smokers who wish to stop smoking may require assistance and support through a company-sponsored program.
• The company will sponsor related health promotion activities to help employees overcome their reliance on and addiction to nicotine.
