I fail to make further comment on your line of reasoning about alcohol, because, as I've said repeatedly, nothing you can say about alcohol makes tobacco smoking any less dangerous. I'm quite happy to discuss whether we as a nation treat alcohol appropriately but that's for another thread.
As for smokers who live to a grand old age - yes, I've known a couple of them myself. But again, the fact that you can point to an anomaly does not in any way change the statistics. And until we understand why some people get away with it, I'm frankly amazed that some people want to play Russian Roulette with their lives.
