I don't think it's so much a day to day or hour to hour productivity but rather sick days off over the length of employment. By the time you are 60 years old, a smoker tends to take more sick days off than a non-smoker. That is lower productivity.

Overall, I think this is a great idea and would hope more companies do it. Lower health care costs are good for everybody.
