Things like smoking actually save money when it comes to health care, since people who die young tend to not need many of the costly types of care that come with getting older.

Someone who dies at age 60 from lung cancer or a heart attack is a whole lot cheaper than someone who reaches 90 and spends his last decade needing constant care because he has Alzheimer.
