Smoking, drinking and still living long and healthy life

What is the secret to a healthy, long life? What really matters?

I might have an answer for you.

The answer comes from 82 years of my grandfathers lifestyle.

My grandfather Julius broke first 3 major rules of healthy long life. And he broke them big time.

He was a heavy smoker.

Honestly, I have never met anybody in my life who smoked more.  He was sm0king  nonstop like a locomotive that never stops.

To tell you the true, I have never seen him without a cigarette. He smoked outside in the garden, he smoked inside when he came to visit us. My parents didn’t mind, since they were heavy smokers too.

I think he even lit a cigarette in public transportation few times, because he couldn’t wait to have a smoke.

I tried to count the amount of cigarettes he smoked and I came to this:

He smoked a cigarette for about 10 minutes starting right away when he woke up. That’s about 6 cigarettes per hour. If I count 8 hours for sleep for him, that makes him 16 waking hours.

Lets say, 3 hours throughout the day he couldn’t smoke for some reason, which is pretty conservative estimate. That makes 13 hours of smoking 6 cigarettes per hour – 13 X 6 = 78 cigarettes per day. That’s almost 4 packs per day.

He was a heavy drinker.

This was kind of a cultural thing of my grandfathers generation.

You were actually considered a little off  if you didn’t drink regularly.....
