About Your "According to a recent study of the hidden costs of cigarettes, middle-aged men who are heavy smokers will suffer an average of $59,000 each in extra medical billsand lost earnings during their lifetimes," says Clinton nurse Nell Haggart, R.N. "This estimate is probably low, however, hpran?;p it r.nn?;ider<; onlv <;mnkine'<; rnntri ? / ? o ? bution to lung cancer, heart disease and emphysema. Smokers also face higherthan-usual risks of a variety of other diseases, including cancer of the mouth, throat, bladder, and pancreas," she added. For a man between the ages of 35 and 44 who smokes more than two packs a day, the cigarette-related medical bills and lost work will add up to an average of $58,987 during his lifetime.

The cost of smoking-related medical bills is high, but is far outweighed by the wages smokers lose if they die or are bedridden. The costs go down as people get older.

The figures are averages for all smokers, not just those who get sick. These cost estimates do not imply that every smoker will get lung cancer, coronary heart disease or emphysema. This takes the costs for those smokers who develop the diseases and spreads them across all smokers. Smokers who actually get lung cancer, for instance, may have costs far higher than the averages, especially if they are young. The medical expense of treating a man's lung cancer averages $18,373. But a man who gets the disease between ages 45 and 49 will lose an average of $286,047 in earnings, so his total smoking-related costs are figured to be $304,420.
