  One thing all of this fails to address is the psychological and immediate
physical effect of smoking on non-smokers. I personally find that cancer
stick smoke makes me physically nauseous. This is bound to have an effect
on my productivity! :-) Thus, the fact that I am fortunate enough to work
in a non-smoking environment probably has direct economic benefits to my 
employer (in terms of increased productivity) that are difficult to measure
specifically. This type of effect is never accounted for in any of the studies
that I have seen.
