Employees at this UK firm get 4 extra days off if they don’t smoke January 15, 2020 at 05:12PM

Managing director Don Bryden, who is a smoker himself, introduced the policy in the hope that it would inspire employees to quit, and force other businesses to follow suit. Inspire Creative Media’s James Hackett, who is representing Bryden, said the company was inspired to introduce the policy after reading about businesses doing the same in Japan. “Reading that got Don thinking,” Hackett said. “It’s an awful lot of time for smokers to take out smoking.”
