Light Up and Pay Extra
If you smoke in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, you may pay the price in more ways than just your health.

"The way we see it is we are providing an incentive for employees to have a healthy lifestyle," said Herb Brown, senior vice president public relations and corporate communications for Cincinnati-based Western-Southern Financial Group, which has 4,000 employees, including 1,600 here.
