Remember, the concrete evidence of smoking being really bad for you didn't really start coming out until the 80's. This man had smoked since he was 15 and was likely not aware of the health risks associated with smoking.

Once he started, he was probably addicted by those addictive, harmful chemicals put into cigarettes.

I think it's a different case if you have a smoker who started up in the late 80's/90's or beyond.
