a top Harley Street specialist told my dad outright that smoking saved his life.
Admittedly, it's a bit more complex that that, as he actually said "the tar in your lungs caused by the fact you have smoked since you were 10 is probably what stopped the lethal cocktail of chemicals killing you unlike 90% of the rest of the people you worked with, so you've only got Asbestosis and scar tissue in your lungs." Oh how we laughed...and wait for mesotheleoma to kill him at some point when his luck runs out. Got to love working for a chemical plant...
