I saw the final chapter of the film "Fued" about the tnagled web between Betty Davis and Joan Crawford and at the end it said in a brief bio. she smoked one hundred cigarettes a day! Living to 104 is amazing even with a double mastectomy and a stroke and a life of boozing. I did a follow up to confirm and it is true. The brand was Vantage. I quit 30 years ago and smoked two packs per day so 100 gigs is 4 1/2 packs per day!! I have never heard of anyone ever smoking that much less live to be 104!I need to stop worrying about my own self apparently;)……...

Both my parents smoked Camel straights. My dad died at 45 and my mom at 53. That's an average of 49 years. I've never smoked. except of course for the second hand stuff I got from them while I was a kid. And I'm 71. That means I've had my 49 years plus 22 of someone elses. Maybe yours.

:tongue:

Is that a good thing? I've always heard it wasn't some much the tobacco as the other stuff that is in them that would kill you.

Not that I care. The statistical proof that they are bad for you is overwhelming.

The addiction issue centers around the chemicals that are added to the tobacco designed to hook smokers.
 
One summer years ago I was working a factory job. The guy at the machine next to mine was named Augie. He was a real little guy with wrinkled, leathery skin, walked with a serious limp, and was older than dirt.

Augie smoked Camels - lots of Camels - but the thing is, he didn't really. He would light one, set it in the big ashtray on his bench, and ignore it. It wasn't unusual for him to have two or three going at the same time. Don't know that I ever saw him pick up a lit cigarette.

I never counted mind you, but he might easily have gone through 100 cigarettes each day. In reality, he probably smoked less than one pack.

Funny, I'd forgotten all about old Augie until I read this thread.
