    On June 2, 2045, I’ll outlive my mother. My father is still alive and in pretty good health. I think I take after him, but I started smoking again recently. I’m tapering off pretty well though and I’m still relatively young.

      That’s an interesting way of looking at it. In 2050 I’ll outlive my dad, but my mom is still alive. I never smoked but my dad did not die of cancer and my mom smoked like a chimney and is still alive.

        My mom did die of cancer, but not lung cancer. They both quit when they were younger than I am, but each smoked much more in total than I have, so I think that’s a toss up. Smoking is basically my only unhealthy habit -I don’t even sit very much- but it’s a whopper of an unhealthy habit
