My step Dad smoked a lot and he went the same way.
Sucks, but teaches you a lesson not to smoke. That didn't help my Step-Dad as back in the day - they said smoking was good for you.
He was an aircraft engineer instructor for BAC. The nicest guy in the world.
Could have been the jet fuel....
We are all dying.

Cremation?
I'm not overly sure anything people tell us to (not)eat, (not)do, etc. etc. etc. is ever really the best long term idea. Sure maybe the big thing now is pro-biotic yogurts, but who's to say it's not actually lower immune systems or god knows what?
I'm not sure anything can be set in stone when it comes to nutrition, but something like smoking you would think would be glaringly obvious to be unhealthy. Just look at the butt end of a cigarette before and after smoking. To think that even a little bit wasn't slipping into your lungs from each and every smoke is ludicrous.

Yes he was cremated.
My grandmother smoked when she was 14 until 82, and when she was 80 she smoked 60 a day. Go figure.

When my dad was in the service they also encouraged smoking. They told you to sit and have a smoke and think about things if you ran into a problem. Guys would be rationed cigarettes and cigars, but run out of cigarettes first. My dad started smoking cigars because he could trade his meager cigarette rations for enough cigars to last the whole month.
He's still plugging along fine and pretty much did everything thats bad for you. Drinking, smoking, racing cars, racing motorcycles and eating awful food. I don't smoke, but I'm pretty much on board with the rest of his bad habits. I only hope I'm as lucky!

A lot of people live awfully long, considering how they abuse their bodies. But they often don't do things more exhausting than walking down the street.
