Is living clean the key to living long? Maybe not, says a new study by Yeshiva University's Institute for Aging Research, which shows that people who made it to the ripe age of 95 were just as likely as their shorter-lived peers to engage in the kinds of lifestyle habits that researchers deem unhealthy: eating fried foods, drinking, smoking and failing to exercise.
"They're as bad as everyone," says lead researcher Nir Barzilai. "The centenarians were telling us terrible stories about their life habits."

I fully believe this. I quit though in 1993 and smokers who blow their lungs out in my face as they board my bus are repulsive. The smokers need to understand though that they are supporting the Annapolis politician and providing NOTHING for themselves.
I'll have a drink and a cigar to that!
Not sure about this article. I mean did they work out until to old and then start drinking or did they drink and smoke their whole lives? And what about quality of life?
