Some folks just don't understand statistics. Besides, for all we know, the woman would have lived to 130 had she not smoked.

Cigarettes can make you live till 105!



  Marie Ellis, a woman lived for 105 years despite smoking nearly 500,000 cigarettes during her lifetime.

Ellis died of old age heart failure recently, and was cremated clutching a packet of her favourite Benson and Hedges Gold and flowers shaped like cigarettes on top of her coffin.

Ellis, who remained single throughout her life, smoked almost 15 cigarettes a day or 5,500 a year from the age of 15.

Meanwhile, the Eaton Lodge nursing home in Westgate London is erecting a concrete ashtray in the garden as a memorial, which can be used by the staff during smoking-breaks.

"She smoked right to the end," The Mirror quoted matron Maria Kallis as saying.
