The one who conked at 80 was the most health-conscious, diet-nut, non-smoking, non-drinking, slim, vitamin-popping exercise freak.
Betting the one at 80 yrs was the last to be born.

A pity she didn't leave her body to science there must be a reason why some people can survive nicotine poisoning for eight decades.

Well, I doubt she smoked when she was a little kid. Most kids, like me, start smoking in their teens. So she smoked for at least 60 years, give or take a few, depending on when she started.

Of course, though, since she was a chain-smoker, it probably equaled 80 years because she smoked twice as much as most people I know. She probably went through 3 packs a day, if not more. That's just crazy. I don't even smoke a whole pack.

Some people just get away with it. Not everyone who smokes will get cancer.
