I mean this is nothing new, historically tobacco companies pushed the government to lower smoking regulations because they showed how much money it saved the healthcare and retirement systems with younger deaths when at least a certain number of citizens smoke.

(Actually they still do this to some third world and developing countries who consider smoking regulations to scare them out of adopting regulations for fear of breaking their retirement system.)

is 'this is nothing new' a defense?
