34. That is true enough.

Smokers in Germany always justify their habit with some distant relative who smoked 14000 cigarettes a year (two packs a day) and lived to be 122 or something. But I tell them, out of ten thousand people who cross the autobahn on foot at rush hour blindfolded, one or two will survive to the other side. But what are your odds? Would YOU try it with those odds?

A French friend of mine who never smoked died of lung cancer at 72. Incredible guy. He was in the resistance during the Second World War, was firing machine guns from hideouts at the Nazis at age 14. Because his family was Dutch originally, he was light blond, and looked half his age (even at 60!). He was never suspected of what he was really up to, and survived the occupation. He HATED cigarette smoke, but employed nothing but smokers in his office (not unusual in France), and died an unpleasant death. This was several decades ago, when smoking in offices was still allowed there.
