That's an interesting way of looking at it. In 2050 I'll outlive my dad, but my mom is still alive. I never smoked but my dad did not die of cancer and my mom smoked like a chimney and is still alive.

My mom did die of cancer, but not lung cancer. They both quit when they were younger than I am, but each smoked much more in total than I have, so I think that’s a toss up. Smoking is basically my only unhealthy habit -I don’t even sit very much- but it’s a whopper of an unhealthy habit
