How if i smoke can i live to be 99 yearsold?

It would be tough: Smoking will definitely shorten your expected lifespan. There are exceptions, rarely smokers do live into the 90's but that is extremely rare and the numbers of smokers who die much younger than the normal life expectancy far outnumber the few who aren't affected negatively by smoking.
