Abstract: Let $X_P$ be a smooth projective toric variety of dimension $n$ embedded in $P{P}^r$ using all of the lattice points of the polytope $P$. We compute the dimension and degree of the secant variety $Sec{X}_P$. We also give explicit formulas in dimensions 2 and 3 and obtain partial results for the projective varieties $X_A$ embedded using a set of lattice points $$ containing the vertices of $P$ and their nearest neighbors.
