My father smoked non-filtered Lucky Strikes, 2 packs a day, for more than 65 years. He was a fussy eater, meat and potatoes, real butter, real heavy cream, buttermilk, and either a ton of salt or sugar on everything. Never tasted the food first, covered his steaks in salt until they were white and added Maggi or soy sauce to soups. 4-6 teaspoons of sugar in every cup or coffee/tea. Added sugar to foods he didn't think were sweet enough; cantaloupe, strawberries, blueberries, tomatoes, to name a few. Such a weird eater - butter and sugar sandwiches on white bread. He never had high blood pressure or diabetes or ever gained weight. Of course, COPD/emphysema finally did him in, but that was at age 96!
Guess he had good genes.
