In other news, it was related to this reporter, by an anonymous source, that free rock climbers are more likely to be killed by a fall from great heights than those who don't climb rocks.

"Among nearly 50,000 residents of rural Norway who were followed for 25 years, researchers found that 41 percent of men who continued to smoke heavily (at least one pack a day) died between 40 and 70 years of age compared with just 14 percent of men who never smoked." So, this means 45 % of the rest lived to over 100, smoking a pack a day? that's not bad.

Actually the folks who've outlived most...those folks are smokers and non smokers have one KEY for that...NO SUGAR.

It doesn't really say they died from smoking related illness. You got to wonder how many died in accidents while trying to hold that cigarette and do something else at the same time.

Cigarette smoking strongly increases the risk of dying in middle age for both men and women, but kicking the habit, even at older ages, strongly decreases the risk of dying prematurely.My father, who is now 82 and acts and looks 62, smoked from the age of 9.
At least one, sometimes two and occasionally three packs of "Winstons" per day, which he switched to from "Old Gold", "Chesterfields" and "Pall Mall".
He quit at about 55 or so and has rarely been sick, other than occasional colds and a flu bout one year.
I hope there is some truth to the "good genes" thing, and the passing along thereof.

My grandfather smoked Lucky Strikes (no filter) until he died at age 84. Splitting wood every day probably helped.

"...died between 40 and 70 years of age...."
That is quite a wide range and I wouldn't consider SS eligible seniors to be "middle aged." I also notice that I didn't see the average life expectancy for people born in 1936 anywhere in the article.

I wonder if they compared smokers and non-smokers with identical occupations if that data would hold? But noooooo. That won't happen.
