I have been smoking for many years.
I’ll be 83 in September but I know the smoking will take YEARS off of my life.
Oh well,only the good die young.

One case does not prove a general rule. Perhaps you have not died yet, but your brain does not seem to be working at optimum level. How do you know how healthy you would be if you had NOT been smoking?
Have you ever, ever had a doctor tell you that your smoking was a good idea?
Old smokers are just the left overs of the smoking population. You are ignoring and discounting the victims. It would be as if a veteran said, “The war wasn’t really so bad, because I lived through it, and it didn’t kill me.” You are looking at only the surviving part of the sample.
But if this is the way you think, try to be happy about it, because we all die sometime, and even a fool can make it a few years longer.
