My Grandmother, who lived well into her nineties and occasionally smoked cigarettes accredited her longevity to a shot of whiskey in her porridge. Perhaps it's a British thing ?

Thanks for sharing. The oldest person ever lived (and verified to be that old) actually smoked every day until her 117 years on the planet.

There have been genetic studies on these so called super-centenarians (at least 110 years of age), one similarity of them are that they have / produced very few or no children in their life time, and they all have very easy-going and relaxed temperament.

He gets my thanks and admiration. Sounds like a life well lived! So far of course.
In the interest of clarity Calment did not did not start smoking until age twenty-one. I'll buy everyday of her adult life, not the every day observation.
