My dad was smoking at 6.

Rural Canada, 75 years ago. Still alive.

Cancer is nothing you can count on. For the bad and for the good.
Hope your dad stays healthy.

Yah, my uncle lived to 94, smoked for 89 of those years. Pretty sure if we'd had a nuclear war in the 60s, that fucker would have still made it into his 80s.
