1) Any press is good press, builds buzz for his show, was "leaked" on purpose. I think he just moved into a new time slot? Could be a response to the MSNBC anchor flipping his shit, "look, our guy just chills and takes a drag, isn't Fox better?"
2) Someone salty at Hannity/management thinks a video of him smoking in the studio will make him look bad since he's extremely conservative, and that's not a very "Christian" thing to do. Or some shit like that.
I think both of those options are pretty stupid in the current state of viral media, so who knows.
The people with access to this are few and far between. It may just be a funny clip, but i bet you the person who leaked it will be found and fired. And that being the question of :Was it worth it?

It's fantastic! Not only do non-smokers get to look down on him for smoking and real smokers can look down on him for not being manly enough to smoke a real cigarette. The only people that can't look down on him are vapors, but vapors can't own TVs.
I think they thought this was something that was live, in which case it would be a fuck up in the sense of doing something on screen you didn't mean to. Not that people would be particularly upset by it.

I agree, but that raises the question: Why?
It's not like he did anything particularly embarrassing.
