That question helps the insurance companies figure out how much your medical insurance will cost you later in life.

Smoking affects efficient bone healing. Or they might bullshite an extra x amount of time for smoking cessation counseling for an extra x amount of RVU’s. I’ve told people to quit smoking, but never “counseled on smoking cessation” long enough to bother looking up the code to bill the extra charge.
