I agree with AZLILSIS- lived through all of that with smoking parents and I’m a year older (73 last September) and constantly improving my diet and exercise. I raised 4 kids in the 60s and my 2nd was just 50 yesterday. I smoked Lucky Strikes when in HS but quit when I went to college because it was just an “image” thing. My parents both smoked and Dad quit after his brother died of emphesema but Mom did not quit until after her stroke. They lived to celebrate 60 years of marriage but Dad suffered the care of an invalid and died of stomach cancer. Mom died because my brother put her in a cheap nursing home- he had total (power of attorney and exexutorship)- and he died of brain cancer (he was 4 years my junior).
