One of my grandads died at 64 of that.
The other one died at 86 from a stroke, and smoked to the end. Meh.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandad,
and not kicking, crying and screaming like his passengers.

My grandad died during the holocaust.
He fell out the guard tower.

if we took that as a scientific poll - which it isn't of course
then you're willing to bet on a 50% chance of shortened life and a really horrible death for the joy of cigs.

These aren't great odds.

No, not really.
I couldn't be bothered thinking of anything meaningful to say, so just stated how my grandparents died.

My gran died at 86, also having seemingly smoked since her teens (she worked in the cigareette factory that used to exist in dundalk)
