How many hospital beds are taken due to cancer from smoking?

In 2004 in the US there were 173,700 new cases of lung cancer and an estimated 160,440 deaths from lung cancer. Of those it is estimated that 87% are caused by smoking. Some 3,000 people die of lung cancer a year from second-hand smoke.
I would expect that everyone who was diagnosed with lung cancer spends some time in hospital and so does everyone who dies - nice big number, isn't it?
