Do What Makes You Happy - 100-year-old woman, Winnie Langley, smokes 170,000 cigarette
I thought cigarettes caused cancer?
You hear all the time about the dangers of smoking. The smoking horror stories have frightened some people to the point where if they see someone smoking they turn and run in terror from fear that second hand smoke will give them cancer instantly if they even get near a lit cigarette.
Winnie Langley has been smoking since she was a 7-year-old and has just celebrated her 100th birthday. 100-year-old woman, smoking since she was 7-year-old, where’s the cancer?
An iron-lunged pensioner has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigarette from a candle on her birthday cake.
Winnie Langley started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old - and has got through five a day ever since.
She has no intention of quitting, even after the nationwide ban forced tobacco-lovers outside.
Speaking at her 100th birthday party Winnie said: “I have smoked ever since infant school and I have never thought about quitting. There were not all the the health warnings like there are today when I started. It was the done thing.”
Winnie, from Croydon, South London, claims tobacco has never made her ill.
Winnie Langley goes on to say that she started smoking before World War One to help calm her nerves.
Are Smoking Related Illnesses Psychosomatic?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not advocating smoking and I do not believe that smoking has no adverse side effects on your health. I believe many of the negative health problems of smokers are psychosomatic. Years and years of relentless negative propaganda about how cigarettes will kill you cause people to believe since they are smokers they are going to grow giant tumors in their lungs and drop dead at any moment.
It is a great idea to educate people on the real negative side effects of smoking. Their are real reasons to never start smoking such as:
- Cost
- Cigarettes stink!
- When you drop a cigarette in your lap while driving it burns your crotch!
Why can’t anti-cigarette Nazis stick with telling the true negative side effects of cigarette smoking instead of using their junk science to push their anti-smoking agendas? The anti-smoking a-holes use many of the same tactics of the Global Warming nuts. If smoking causes cancer then how do you explain 100-year-old smoker Winnie Langley?
Hillary Clinton, Anti-Smoking Nazi
If anti-smoking Nazis like Hillary Clinton had their way they would ban cigarettes altogether. Of course Hillary and her we know better than you ignorant people friends don’t want to outright ban cigarettes, cigarette taxes put to much money in their pockets.
Do What Makes You Happy

Once again I am not telling people to smoke, what I am saying is, “If smoking makes you happy, then smoke!”
Before the legalize marijuana crazies start calling me a hypocrite, smoking is legal, marijuana is ILLEGAL!
Do what makes you happy as long as it is LEGAL.
One day I will stop smoking, most of the time I enjoy smoking. As long as I enjoy smoking, can afford it, and it is legal I will continue. Winnie Langley, you go girl, keeping proving the lies about cigarette smoking are just that LIES!
Am I wrong or do you agree with me? Let’s discuss.

But she never inhaled!!! Is she related to Bill Clinton? HA!
Of all the vices I gave up, I truly miss smoking. Even after not having a cigarette for years, I still crave them every now and then.

If cancer isn’t in your consciousness, then smoke away.

Smoking increases the risk of developing cancer, in a similar way that driving drunk increases the risk of being involved in car crash. There are people who drive drunk regularly and never get involved in a crash, and it has a lot to do with luck, luck like this lady has.

It’s a bit like driving drunk, some people never get involved in a crash, they’re lucky, like the lady.

I read the article about Winnie Langley with interest. You see, she is my grandma. Winnie is lucky that she has lasted that long, my dad, her step son, wasn’t so lucky. He died from lung cancer 6 years ago. Like her he started smoking at age 7. But hey, he inhaled, maybe that is the secret of long life?
