Very interesting.
I have seen a number of interviews on TV, with people who reach 100 or other old age. And it seems a mixed bag. Some have never smoked and/or drank. Others drank in moderation. I remember one old man, said he smoked a cigar a day for decades.
I got the impression that any who smoked or drank, did so in moderation.
Also of note is how skinny these oldsters are. I don’t know if they are on strict diets or just don’t eat as much when older.
I have noticed that too. Less body fat means less inflammation means less dna damage.
They don’t have much appetite...I am one of them.

“Also of note is how skinny these oldsters are. I don’t know if they are on strict diets or just don’t eat as much when older.”
Fat people died off decades earlier.
I cannot ever recall seeing an obese 95 year old.
Modern science shows calorie restrictions do extend lifespans. Rodents live 150% longer when on regular intervals of calorie restriction.
I often write about grandmother who lived to be 106.
She smoked moderately, drank moderately—but what made her an unusual person is she had a very positive disposition—off the charts.
She was always smiling, always friendly, always cheerful.
Other people claimed she was stupid because she just did not understand the negative stuff—but I knew her very well, and she was very intelligent—she knew exactly what she was doing..she just refused to play along with stuff that caused stress.

Fat people don’t live past 75.
In nearly 100% of cases.
