Yeah, well my mother's brother and two sisters have smoked like chimneys since they were teenagers. They are now all in their 70s and doing fine. My mother was the only one in her family who didn't smoke. She lived in a smoke free home since marrying my Dad at the age of 25. She died at age 59 of lung cancer. Go figure.
They're not high up on the bell curve.
Elk Grove IL?
Yeah its odd, since I moved to NV (Which is much more smoker friendly) I see LOADS of older people and seniors smoking away at the casinos.
If you listen to the "antis" these days, by rights all those people should have died long ago.
