Tobacco’s Cost to Society Good Afternoon! Tobacco’s Cost to Society

Costs to Society Tobacco’s Many Costs Tobacco companies spend more than $34 million each day on marketing to encourage people to use tobacco products. Whether or not they use tobacco, U.S. taxpayers pay billions of dollars each year in federal taxes to treat the many health problems caused by tobacco use.

Costs to Society Costs to Smokers Researches have determined that the average cigarette smoker uses one-and-a-half packs each day. The average price per pack in most states has risen to more than $5. This means the typical smoker spends more than $8 per day on cigarettes. That adds up to $250 over the course of one month, or $3,000 per year. In 10 years’ time, the average smoker in the U.S. will have spent more than $30,000 on cigarettes.

Costs to Society Lost productivity. Productivity is how much a person is able to finish in the time he or she works. People who use tobacco: have lower productivity levels on the job. are sick more often than nonsmokers and get less done . Lost productivity costs businesses a lot of money. The nation as a whole pays a large price too. The government estimates that smoking costs the U.S. economy $96 billion per year in lost productivity.

Costs to Society Health care costs. People who use tobacco tend to need more medical treatment than those who do not. If tobacco users have health insurance, it may help pay for some of their treatment. However, because health insurance companies face more costs to cover tobacco users, they charge higher rates for their insurance. If a tobacco user has no health insurance, the government helps cover the costs. This means that every U.S. family pays for tobacco use through their taxes.

Costs to Society Countering the Costs of Tobacco Use Tobacco Taxes Taxes are now added to each pack of cigarettes sold in the United States and in certain states. Smoke-Free Environments On the state and local government levels, public action groups work to lower the cost to nonsmokers through laws that ban smoking in public spaces. This protects nonsmokers from dangerous secondhand smoke. Tobacco Taxes For example, there is a federal excise tax that adds $1 to the price of each pack of cigarettes. Additional taxes make it more costly to buy tobacco products and give the government more money to educate people about the dangers of tobacco use. Smoke-Free Environments It has become common to find businesses and restaurants where smoking indoors or even outdoors is not allowed. These laws protect the health of all restaurant patrons. Some towns and cities have even made it illegal to smoke in certain outdoor locations, such as beaches, playgrounds, and gardens. The federal government has also passed laws to protect the rights of nonsmokers. Since 1989, it has been illegal to smoke on all airplane flights in the United States.
