Anna Jaques Hospital's change in policy falls in line with other recent tobacco-free employment policies. (6) In 2009, International Paper Company announced a plan that requires new hires and current employees to submit to a urine test. (7) New employees who test positive will be terminated immediately. (8) Current employees who test positive will be required to enroll in nicotine-replacement therapy. (9) International Paper Company's policy also has a smoke-free component, but the policy is only in effect in its manufacturing plants. (10) Despite its limited scope, International Paper's policy has sparked controversy in the past. (11)
Offers of positions to prospective employees who test positive for drugs or nicotine will be rescinded. Those individuals testing positive for drugs or nicotine will be eligible to re-apply for positions at the hospital six months after the date of the positive report. (1) After the six months, the offers of positions to individuals testing positive for drugs and nicotine will be reinstated for positions available at the time of re-application. (2)
Justin Scanlon, a physician and former past president of the Massachusetts Tobacco Action Committee, proposed a version of the aforementioned policy on September 24, 2011. (3) He argued that a smoke-free campus that includes work places and vehicles would be a more effective policy than a ban on smoking within the four walls of the home, as it would create a zero-tolerance policy for the use of tobacco at all work places. (4)
Scanlon reasoned that the adoption of a smoke-free policy would be cost effective. (5) He projected the annual total cost of education and treatment of smoking as equivalent to the cost of a psychiatric treatment facility. d2c66b5586
