102-year-old Woman Stops Smoking - After 95 Years! by abasifo(m): 4:50pm On Sep 15, 2009 |
102-year-old woman stops smoking - after 95 years! 15 September 2009 She lit her first cigarette as the lights were going out over Europe at the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Since then, the Daily Mail reports, she has reached for her trusty Player’s Navy Blue (or, latterly, Embassy) through the ups and downs of all the following decades. Until now. At the astonishing age of 102, Winne Langley says she has kicked the habit after 95 years because she "didn’t fancy it any more". Mrs Langley reckons she hasn’t contracted cancer because she does not inhale. The former laundrette worker, who lives in Croydon, South London, said since her first puff in 1914, she has averaged five cigarettes a day, giving a total of more than 170,000 in her lifetime.
