My father is 87- he smoked until his 50’s-his health is not awful and I think he’ll make it to his 90’s

Every patient is different so there are no guarantees but it improves the possibility. My grandmother smoked till she was 94. More people die from cardiovascular disease from tobacco use than die from lung cancer.
