A recent report from the Society of Actuaries concluded that the direct medical costs of exposure to secondhand smoke per year for the U.S. are almost five billion dollars.

This estimate includes costs from lung cancer, cervical cancer, asthma, ear infections, pulmonary disease, coronary heart disease, and low birth weight births. The estimated economic value of lost wages per year for the U.S. population (excluding infants) for these diseases is greater than $4.6 billion.
