My great-uncle was 94. He chewed snuff. New York State recorded his cause of death as tobacco use.

If he got mouth cancer, that would technically be correct. If he had a garden variety heart attack or stroke, not so much. Mine grandfather was 86 when he died from a stroke. He had every petty vice--cheap stogies, home-made wine, fried chicken and cheesecake. Oh and he got plenty worked up and loud of pinochle (got kicked out of the Senior Citizens Center for it). We all loved him.

He chewed stuff? Like furniture?

Just think: if he had heeded The Man instead of Mr. Copenhagen, he might have made 95.

My uncle was a cigarette smoker but he never smoked indoors. When he went outside to smoke he smoked a cigarette, lit another off the smoked one threw the old one to the ground and rubbed the old one out.

He finally died of cancer of the shoe. (my story and I’m sticking to it)
