This was my grandma man. She died at 98 smoking until the very end. She used to drive a 1972 Lincon Continental I would ride in the back seat with no chair or seat belt as she chain-smoked filterless Camels and spit dip into a Styrofoam coffee cup.
Edit: I called Camels “cowboy killers” but those were Marlboros and that’s what my mom smoked. Grandma didn’t dig filters because “that’s how you get cancer.”
Yeah, she was a tough old woman. She was the exception to the smoking rule for sure. She chain-smoked, dipped, and drank whiskey all day lol out lived two husbands and one child.

That was true for a time. I think it was the 50’s when cigarette companies were using asbestos for their filters.
I think that was actually some other horrible lung disease.
To be fair back in those days I believe filters were made containing asbestos. Your grandma was a smart cookie!
Edit: This was actually the 50s
Living to 98 is pretty darn impressive for a smoker
