If a patient is dead there is no scarring, so your argument is moot.
If they live there might be scarring but a scar heals over time.
I hope you haven't smoked for 55 years and only intended to say you are a fifty five year old smoker.
I smoked for about 12 years and quit about 35 years ago. I never documented my stop date and now cannot celebrate that great event. I suggest if you quit you should write down the date. I was able to quit cold turkey and substituted gum. I made one of those gum wrapper chains to keep my hands occupied. I think it was about fifteen feet long before I stopped that.
