The number of people using tobacco continues to decline despite industry attempts to jeopardize progress towards stamping out cigarettes and other such products, the World Health Organization (WHO) said in a report published on Tuesday.
That’s not the only thing they do.
They also reduce your capacity for work… and life.
I have a reason to believe that people dying from “overwork” are actually because:
People work (and play) more when they are young and in school etc.
Get used to their ability to work as much and subconsciously set a mental bar.
Get into office space full of secondary smoke / start smoking
Smoke reduces their ability
They don’t realise their reduced ability and keep on working as much as previously set bar.

Just a hypothesis. No scientific backing.
… other than first hand exp with reducing ability to work after long term exposure in a heavily contaminated environment.
I won’t act like I know what comes out of people’s exhalation after they come into an unventilated room after smoking in the stairway just next to it (with the only door blocking anything, being always kept open), but I can say for sure that:
Cigarettes give out much more than just nicotine vapour.
The smokers in question have proven to be neither more competent, nor more productive. On the contrary, they sit around, asking other ppl to do their work (in the name of help) and as the other people waste their own time explaining their work as they do it, the smokers don’t even learn from what is being taught to them.
If it is a stimulant that comes out of that smoke, it’s definitely stimulating unwanted attributes of the brain.

What offices have smoke?
Overwork is still very common despite less people smoking.
Also, nicotine is a simulant and really doesn’t make you less productive. Just like coffee won’t. Actually there’s an argument it should help.
