Question is: '5 a day' == cigs or packs?
I wouldn't be surprised if 5 cigarettes a day mightn't have some salubrious effects long-term, depending on the personality of the smoker / imaginary demons defused and the like. We'll never get believable stats on that, of course.
Clearly - few.. smoke only 5/day. (I've met a very-few who smoke only one after dinner, \ufffd l\ufffd cigar.)

Well, let's see.
It says 170,000 cigarettes. That's 8,500 packs if there 20 cigarettes per pack. Roughly 93 years of smoking gives a quarter of a pack a day or 5 cigarettes a day.
She wasn't much of a smoker. ;-)
Cheers,
Scott.
(Who assumes the 170,000 figure was arrived at by calculation, not by her counting them every day.)

Re: you go granma!
My great-grandmother died in April, 2000. She smoked exactly one cigarette every day after dinner with a glass of red wine. She was 106.
