100-year-old celebrates her birthday by smoking 170,000th cigarette


An iron-lunged pensioner has celebrated her 100th birthday by lighting up her 170,000th cigerette from a candle on her birthday cake.

Winnie Langley started smoking only days after the First World War broke out in June 1914 when she was just seven-years-old – and has got through five a day ever since.

She has no intention of quitting, even after the nationwide ban forced tobacco-lovers outside.

Speaking at her 100th birthday party Winnie said: “I have smoked ever since infant school and I have never thought about quitting.


She lucked out she didnt get cancer; but her 100 yard dash is just atrocious…..
and, had she not been a smoker she probably could have lived to witness her 200th birthday
