[quote] America's oldest-living veteran has turned 109 years old, and he still smokes 12 cigars a day.
Richard Overton, an Army veteran of World War II now living in Austin, Texas, still enjoys his whiskey too.
Although Overton did not turn 109 until today, his Austin neighborhood threw him an early birthday party on May 3, consisting of burgers, milkshakes, and of course cigars.
“I smoke at least 12 Tampa Sweet cigars a day," Overton told The Wall Street Journal.
"I’ve been smoking cigars since I was 18 years old," he added to ABC. "I have over $100 worth of cigars now.” [/quote]

because genetics. if you live to be 80 years old, odds are that only 10% of 80 year olds live to 90, and it drops off from there with each year.
