Why are smoker’s skinny? Because while they’re smoking, they’re not eating a Snicker bar. At least I’ve never seen a smoker eating one while smoking.
I once did business with a very caustic and witty older woman, tops in her field, who resided in Manhattan, and smoked like a freight train, never being without one if she was awake.
I’ve had dinner with her many times, with a cigarette in her left hand and a fork in her right, alternating bites of food with a drag on the cigarette. She was thin, very elegant, looked quite a bit older than she was and had a voice like gravel.
She died about ten years ago and it was a real loss. To my knowledge, the cause of her death was unrelated to her truly epic smoking excess. She was in her late sixties and died in her sleep.
