World No Tobacco Day 2010

Cigarettes calling

‘World No Tobacco Day’ is observed on May 31 but recent surveys have shown that BPOs seem to be the place where this day is going to be least respected.

The study involving more than 800 employees between four BPO units, found that 8% of call center women employees smoke.

Small 'smoke breaks' and the 'main break' are the times when these women employees aged 20-25 years, forming 20% of smoking population in call centers, come out for a puff.
