I love anecdotes.
"My (grandmother, parents, friend of a friend) smoked their whole life and lived to the age of (80/90/104)."
Sure, you could win the genetic lottery (if your idea of a lottery was exposing your friends and family to your smoke/breath/nasty habit your whole life). You could go your whole life driving without a seat belt without injury too, if you got lucky.
Don't believe facts or scientific studies--those aren't for you.
And feel free to bitch about the high cost of health insurance while you're at it.

Tobacco is terrible for you. That being said I've met a lot more 80+ year old tobacco users than I've met 80+ fatties.

Exactly. I'm 35 years old and have never needed my seatbelt. I've never been in a wreck other than a minor fender bender at slow speed. But I still put it on every single time.
And sort of on topic, I think cigarette smoking does far worse to your overall health than just your heart and lungs. I can always tell a smoker by their skin and hair. I don't think chew or dip, or cigars for that matter, affect your overall health as much. We all know people who have done that for long periods with no ill effects.

well
the OP was this
quote:
Do you know anyone who has used tobacco products for decades and are still going fine? 80 and 90 year olds specifically
he's asking for anecdotes?
