My mother never smoked a day in her life. Dead at 53 from ovarian cancer.

My father, who smoked practically every day of his life, dead at 95.

I think I'll follow his example.

Unless of course, my anecdotal evidence isn't as valid as yours is.

As I said to others, parents such as yours are not high on the bell curve.
