[Smokin' Joe]

My grandmother cooked over a wood stove most of her life and lived to 101.

I think it is a complicated combination of factors, irritants and genetic propensity may be only two.

Her father was a carpenter who died of lung cancer in his 80s but never smoked.

Her mom outlived him by nearly 10 years and did not have cancer.

IOW, you just don't know, but it is entirely possible it might not have made much difference either way.
