The Cost of Tobacco Use
Two of most obvious economic costs attributed to tobacco smoking and exposure to tobacco smoke (passive smoking) are:
- Health care costs to treat tobacco-related illnesses
- The cost of lost productivity at work and in commerce due to tobacco-related diseases and premature death
There are also many “hidden” costs of tobacco use that can be more challenging to quantify, such as how the tobacco industry affects the environment, and how working on tobacco farms affects short and long-term health.
