“COPD, and congestive heart failure”

Several relatives had this. Too much smoking. Not pretty.

But 90s is a good run.

If you live to be 92, you can't say "too much smoking"!

Some people just have good genes and can overcome a lot of "bad" habits.

Just ask George Burns.

She could be around another 10 years. COPD seems to be the “go to” prognosis anytime anyone coughs.

COPD is a blanket term for pulmonary dysfunction that’s incurable

Many other causes besides smoking including genetic or in my case scar tissue from two sternotomies

Yes. When you reach your nineties, your time avoiding “the guy with the knife on the stick” (as Eddie Rickenbacker named death) is short and uncertain.
