The early death of smokers tends to save a long, expensive period of end-of-life care. I believe smoking deaths reduce health care costs, ironically enough.

It does, there is even a study on it. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9321534/
Smokers also help keep pension/social security costs down since they pay into it but don't collect out of it or do for much shorter period.
