On October 1, 2010 Signature Healthcare joined the majority of
health providers and employers in Massachusetts in becoming a
tobacco-free workplace.
To prepare for this change, “How to Quit
Smoking” sessions will be provided free of
charge to employees who want help to quit. Check out our
Respiratory Therapy page for more information on smoking and quitting resource.
Nicotine is an addictive drug and smoking remains the #1 preventable

Centers for Disease Control, tobacco-related cancer and cardiovascular
disease kills more Americans each year than car accidents, murder,
suicide, poisonings and AIDS
combined.
