Americans who hate their jobs are more likely to smoke, new data shows.
According to a Gallup poll, Americans who are emotionally disconnected from their work and workplace, or “actively disengaged,” are slightly more likely to smoke than those who are “engaged” or “not engaged” on the job. Eighteen percent of actively disengaged workers smoke vs. 15% of engaged or not engaged employees.
Gallup said that the most clear indication from the data is that employers can benefit from helping employees either stop smoking or never pick up the habit at all.
