A recent report sponsored by the BC Healthy Living Alliance found that one employee who smokes can cost a business more than $3300 per year through absenteeism， lower productivity， higher accident rates， longer disability claims and other ctors. The total provincial cost of employing workers who smoke was found to be $661 million per annum. Tobacco use has a high personal cost. Smoking causes different types of cancer， lung diseases， and a myriad of other health problems. Tobacco use costs other persons， like children， who are impacted by second-hand smoke. However， the ultimate cost of tobacco use is loss of life. Since January 2010， more than 26，000 Canadians have died as a result of smoking. Of those， up to 6，000 are in B.C. Smoking kills more people in B.C. than drug use， motor vehicle collisions， murders， suicides and HIV/AIDS combined.
