  • False. My gf's Opa smoked everyday from 17 right up til his death at 91. He passed away from old age, not lung cancer.

    • Maybe if he hadn't smoked he would've lived until he was 105!

        • Oh I know, but if he hadn't have smoked maybe he would've been the oldest man to ever lived.
          But no in all seriousness I don't know if it takes 12 minutes off your life every time you smoke but I know it does serious damage. Maybe this person was just lucky, because I have had a lot of family members who smoked die from lung cancer or some other disease or/and have killer asthma because of it. And I know for example my mom she smoked from when she was a teenager to in her 30's a few packs a day. She quit when she got married because she knew she was going to be wanting kids. But even though she didn't smoke when she was pregnant my brother still has pretty bad asthma because of it. So it's not just yourself it affects.

          • Oh yeah, of course, smoking does have an effect on your health, I'm just saying the 12 minute thing is a myth :)

        • I was just curious. Because I heard something like foreigners have longer life spans, but who knows for sure.

          • Genetically, age is not associated with race. Ethnicity plays a large role when we factor in different aspects of life like local diets and customs.

    • He may have lived longer if he hadn't smoked.

      • I think 91 is a pretty long time to live, He couldn't have lived much longer, maybe a year or two, 91 is way past the average life span for a man. That's why there's all these old women I see, with out husbands.
