Yeah, ok - you drive twenty minutes into town on the weekend to do your shopping - just nipping home isn't always an option...

We all have immunity and defenses against different diseases. That is why I can suffer with a cold while you breathe easily. Smoking won't give everyone lung cancer but will increase your chances. Burnt meat is a carcinogen true but much much less harmful than smoking. Your granny's are more likely to have had chest infections too as the smoke will paralyse the little hairs on your wind pipe (villi) that remove excess mucus from your lungs. I would also hazard a guess that they are slight in build which may mask peripheral circulation diseases from being apparent??
Maybe I shouldn't make wild guesses.....

No you shouldn't. Biftas gran might be as big as a house and fit as a butchers dog - how would you know???
