This is no different than "my grandmother smoked a pack every day and lived to 130." --- On a related note, I love posting this study https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2707428 https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle... Look at Figure 2C in particular. The hazard ratio of smoking is 1.41. The hazard ratio between "Low" (<25th percentile) and "Below Average" (25th-49th percentile) cardiovascular health is 1.95. In other words, it is better to be a smoker than in the lower 25% of non-exercisers. By far. It's not even close.
