When it comes to mythological creatures, Bigfoot may not get as much attention as unicorns and dragons, but there’s one enormous reason you should learn about him.

You don’t actually employ Bigfoot, but considering how much he has in common with tobacco users in your organization, it’s a bit scary. Need some proof? Read on:

Same But Different

Yes, these 2 things have a lot in common, but 1 key difference is tobacco use in the workplace is not a myth; it’s a very real monster eroding your employee health right now.
