The total cost of lost productivity from smoking-related disease and its treatment is about $2.59 for every pack of cigarettes sold in the U.S., about $2.06 of which goes directly to health care costs.

Companies often charge smokers much higher rates for insurance coverage as well, and may legally refuse to hire individuals who use tobacco.
