[Born Conservative]

My grandfather also smoked unfiltered Camels for over 50 years until he finally quit. He would smoke them down until he was about to burn his fingers; I used to joke that I was going to buy him a roach clip so that he could smoke the ENTIRE cigarette. Amazingly, he never developed lung cancer (that we know of), and lived to the age of 86, before dying from complications of emphysema and multiple myeloma.

I had a greatuncle who chain smoked unfiltered cigs well into his 90's too. He probably died of emphysema. All I heard when he died was that he had finally "smoked himself to death".
