My dad had heart surgery ~16 years ago, due to the effects of smoking. He quit from one day to the next, and didn't touch tobacco at all after that, started working out, cooking and eating healthier food, started playing the drums again, he got a new lease on life. He passed away a couple of weeks ago at the age of 62, due to heart issues, a delayed consequence of smoking and a traditional diet heavy in saturated fat. Living clean(-ish) for 16 years doesn't completely absolve you of your unhealthy habits earlier in life. Don't start smoking, don't let your diet get shitty and full of saturated fat and sugar. Otherwise it will suck later in life, and sometimes sooner than you think.
