Use of increased premiums for tobacco users in the small-group market fell to 4.1 percent in 2018 from 17.8 percent in 2017 and 16.2 percent in 2016. This decline, possibly due to increased government oversight, occurred without any significant change in the prevalence of tobacco cessation programs. Thus, fewer workers are subject to tobacco surcharges without being provided cessation resources.
在小团体市场中，针对烟草使用者提高保费的情况从2017年的17.8%降至2018年的4.1%，2016年这一比例为16.2%。这种下降可能是由于政府监管加强，而戒烟项目的普及情况并未发生任何显著变化。因此，越来越少的员工在未获得戒烟资源的情况下还要承受烟草附加费。
