America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP): Return on Investment Calculator for Those Providing Smoking Cessation
www.businesscaseroi.org/roi/default.aspx
This site presents the business case for smoking cessation. The information is designed primarily for use by health insurance plans. However employers, purchasers, and health benefits managers can also gain valuable insight into the economic advantages of a range of smoking cessation programs.

The results of the ROI analyses should help an organization decide between tobacco control services. The ROI Calculator contains preloaded data that represent the disease, health care use, and plan eligibility for a cohort of smokers, and how cessation programs alter these experiences. Users can modify many of the model inputs to reflect the key smoking and environmental factors of their population.
