The benefits to society of tobacco sales are not negligible — there’s a significant saving in terms of pension, aged care facilities etc if a person dies just before they were about to retire from work… and tobacco can help achieve this outcome.
As to the question of cost to the health system resulting from tobacco use, it might be lower than you think: I’ve heard that in the past, there’s been a rule-of-thumb estimate within health administration circles that the majority of the average person’s usage of the health system happens in the last two years of the person’s life. If this estimate is correct, then it may be valid to simply see tobacco usage as time-shifting that final two years of life.
And finally, if you believe that everybody should have a good opportunity to live to (say) 80 years old or more, what sort of quality of life should society afford them? The current financial crisis, pressure on life basics such as water, food and energy supplies, and the government-inspired Baby Bonus to try and shift the population distribution away from the old and towards the young suggests that a large aged population may be a luxury that society cannot afford.
