A new study, scheduled to be published this week in the journal Lancet, will present “compelling evidence” for a controversial approach to promoting employee health. “We’re going to teach employees how to smoke cigarettes,” says Dr. Akhila Thomas, MD, lead author of the study and a professor at Houston’s Altria School of Public Health.
