RT by @AnneMarieMineur: The story of the Japanese company which gave non smoker employees six extra vacation days

One company in Japan, where smoking is deeply ingrained into culture, decided to do something about it in 2017. After a non-smoking employee submitted a complaint about how smoke breaks were affecting productivity, marketing firm Piala Inc. made a change to its paid time off policy.

The company granted non-smoking staff an additional six days off each year to make up for the time smokers take for cigarette breaks.

About one-third of the people at the company were smokers and stepped away from their desks during the day for cigarette breaks.

The incentive had some success and a number of employee decided to quit smoking.
