he started smoking as a teen-ager and now is still alive and kicking? This was asked by a young boy when I told him to quit smoking because it kills. How will you answer questions like this?

Good question. My grandfather smoked for 50+ years but ended up getting cancer. Very few people are lucky enough to not be effect by smoking. But in general smoking kills millions. Give the option to the young boy that he's playing a guessing game with his life if he continues to smoke.
