>The average annual cost for lost productivity for nonsmokers was 2623 dollars/year compared with 3246 dollars/year for former smokers and 4430 dollars/year for current smokers. More than half the costs were due to unproductive time at work.

Are you sure you don't see any methodological issues with this study & those claims? Cuz I see a lot.

>Dismissing discussions about impacts of smoking as moralistic is borderline disingenuous

Please consider avoiding backhandedly calling people liars.

Don't put words in my mouth. I called out parent's dismissal tone which adds nothing to the debate and provided studies to back what I wrote.

Meanwhile your comment also adds nothing to the debate by going straight to personal attacks and a vague dismissal of one of the linked studies.

To stay on topic:

Could you provide a study that disproves collateral damages, be it with to health or simply economic, to non-smokers?
