I think they're setting themselves up for some interesting legal wrangling in the future.

Smokers have been demonized so bad. And the people that have to pay this extra money at work must do so, because they feel "unworthy" and this helps them sleep at night.

They think "Oh! I am a dirty smoker. I NEED to pay extra!" It's all so sick!

Geez, we all have bad habits that contribute to various health issues, but I haven't had to pay a fee just because I eat Frosted Flakes in the morning instead of granola. I'm not a smoker, but these anti-smoking nazis have gone too far. It is easy to demonize smoking because it is a VISIBLE habit. The more private habits of individuals are less visible and make a harder target. These other private habits contribute as much or more to health issues as smoking, but they are ignored. It would be interesting to trace the money trail for these anti-smoking campaigns and see where they actually originate. Which groups are behind these laws? Who stands to gain? And it isn't the employers. Some would probably say "big Pharm" is the big winner.
