Oldest person ever (confirmed by modern science) lived to be over 122. One of her secrets was,
"Calment smoked cigarettes from the age of 21 (1896) to 117 (1992),[2][16] though according to an unspecified source, she smoked no more than two cigarettes per day towards the end of her life."

And,
"Calment ascribed her longevity and relatively youthful appearance for her age to a diet rich in olive oil[4] (which she also rubbed onto her skin), as well as a diet of port wine, and ate nearly one kilogram (2.2 lb) of chocolate every week. Calment reportedly remained mentally intact until her very end."
Other centurions' also cite a lot of 'junk food' like chocolate and potato chips,

Other smokers include the 4th place (2nd through 10th don't specify at least not on wiki)
Interesting to read the eventual cause of deaths had nothing to do with obesity or smoking-related illnesses. Googling for 'oldest smokers' I find,
"All things considered, Jose Aguinelo dos Santos is a pretty lively Brazilian man. He walks without a stick, has no known health problems, smokes a pack of cigarettes a day, and is still a childless bachelor, according to reports. Oh, and he might be 126 years oldthe worlds oldest living person."

Tend to not buy this though since all the record holders for longevity are women. But still, pack a day...
Of course, if smoking does add relaxation and thus lowers stress and increases longevity, if everyone smoked and lived longer we'd have more problems concerning population than we already do. So it's probably better to keep saying "don't smoke."
