A longitudinal view of cross sectional data allows the authors to quantify the external costs and savings of tobacco consumption in Germany. The lower life expectancies of smokers are accounted for. The calculation is expenditure oriented and considers the given institutional framework of the German social security system. The results show that smokers are actually net contributors to the social security system.
