An iron-lunged pensioner has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigerette from a candle on her birthday cake.

Winnie Langley started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old - and has got through five a day ever since.

She has no intention of quitting, even after the nationwide ban forced tobacco-lovers outside.

Then there was that time I did Mickey Rooney behind a dumpster at the Chinese Theater. I think it was 1927. (cough cough) Let me tell you about the time I did Erol Flynn!

This story is about as good as the guy that reached his 100th...
eating all the junk that “experts” tell us are killing us.

But he did have one other anti-aging factor on his side: no children
(but he was married).

Winnie Langley always celebrates her 100th cigarette of the day with a special lighting ceremony.
Langley, 47, vigorously denies that years of chain-smoking have made her look older than her age. . . .

Is that a drool guard on that cake?

My wife’s family were good friends with a Russian emigre, who had fled the Bolsheviks at the time of the October Revolution, who was advised by his physician at the age of 90 to give up smoking and drinking vodka.

He laughed, and replied something like, “No, I’m 90, I’ll live like a man until I die.”

He died at 96.

There was a man who reached 87 years of age while smoking two packs of cigarettes as day. Well, a major cigarette manufacturer convinced him to come to New York to video tape an endorsement for their product. When he arrived at his hotel, the ad executive called him up.

“How was your flight, Mr. Wilson?”

“Great, just great. This room you gave me is terrific, too.”

I’m glad to hear that, Mr. Wilson. Please help yourself to the mini-bar.”

Thanks, I think I will.”

“Now, Mr. Wilson, could I send the limo by tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock to pick you up and take you to the studio?”

“No, I’m afraid that won’t work out.”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t stop coughing ‘till noon!”

Ahhhh, Bless Her Heart!

Yep. My father was 82 years old when he was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer. They advised him to give up cigars and keep an eye on his diabetes.

A two pack a day smoker outdoes her in less than 20 years.

Caption? “First pack of smokes I ever bought cost a nickel.”

(100 and a smoker? I’ve been quit for 2 years, 1 month and 28 days. Thinking about taking it back up now. Who say old folks have nothing left to teach us, lol!)
