Well. Most of my aunts and uncles died in their 50s, with few exceptions (a couple died in their 30s, from cancer). The non-smoking teetotalers on my mother's side live(d) into their 90s. I don't know about their health conditions, though. Smoking is extremely bad news for us. My father, then my mother, then one younger brother succumbed from tobacco use. My youngest brother survived laryngeal cancer at 51, but now has no teeth and has other issues from the chemo and radiation that affect his breathing and heart function. He's 57, 11 years younger than I. He can't walk around the block without half an hour of recovery time, and it took him about a year to find a doctor who would actually put him on disability. Crazy bidniss, all around.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
