Hi, 
This seems to be around $35 billion:

"Each year, more than 50 million Americans spend almost $38 billion on
tobacco products."
Source: National Network For Health
http://www.nnh.org/tobacco/a-8-2.htm

"Despite what we know about the health effects of tobacco, 
Americans are still spending an average of $31 billion annually on
tobacco products." (reported in november 2003)
Source: SBC Baptist Press

"But tobacco is a 30 billion dollar a year business with a long history of 
political power."

Search strategy:
Google: +tobacco +spend +billion +americans OR +america OR +"united states"

If you need any more information, please ask for a clarification!

Thank you,
