      Well, the princess is downing a bottle of fortified wine, so it would seem that’s just par for the course.

      In 1955, basically everyone smoked. Like 65% of Europe were smokers, and I do mean 65% of living humans of all ages.

      I was smoking at 12 in France in 1999, I told tobacconists I was buying them for my mom. Pulled the same thing off in the states when I moved there 2 years later. And I was far from alone. These are far more recent (terrible, obviously) habits than you might think.

        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.
