Goodyear Goes Smoke Free
Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co is aiming to be a smoke free company, and this time the development has nothing to do with burning rubber. Instead Goodyear is the first major employer in the US state of Ohio to take part in an anti-smoking programme that provides free nicotine patches to employees who smoke and want to quit, the Akron Beacon Journal has reported. The programme is a joint effort with the Ohio Tobacco Use Prevention and Control Foundation, which is splitting the cost of the patches with Goodyear.
