The strange thing is that my father, who smoked but stopped around 50, died of throat cancer at the age of 62.

My mother, who has smoked a pack a day for her entire adult life, is 83 and going pretty strong.

It's mind boggling.  My one grandmother never smoked..........dead at 42 full of cancer.  My other grandmother smoked 3 packs of unfiltered Camels a day and lived to be 86!  Go figure.
