There’s nothing wrong with smoking’: Woman, 112, puts her longevity down to 30-a-day habit

Batuli Lamichhane, from Nepal, was born in March 1903 and began smoking when she was just 17.

After 95 years of puffing away, she claims that her daily habit is behind her outliving everyone else in her village – as well as her own children.

Batuli said: “I don’t really care how old I am. But I am old nonetheless. I have seen a lot of things change during my lifetime.”

Despite her age and modern health warnings against smoking, Batuli continues to chain smoke her way through as many as 30 ciggies.

She said: “I have been smoking for over 95 years. There is nothing wrong with smoking."

However, Batuli does have a word of advice for smokers, saying it is best to avoid “commercially made” cigarettes.

Instead, she smokes locally produced ‘beedis’ – tobacco wrapped inside a tendu leaf.

Batuli’s husband abandoned her a whopping eight decades ago - after he travelled to India in search of work.

Her eldest son is now 85-years-old and her other four kids have since passed away.

Although Batuli’s speech is pretty incoherent, the great grandmother still manages to do all of her chores by herself.

The devastating earthquake that hit Nepal last year caused Batuli’s roof to cave in but she has refused to relocate to live with relatives and now lives off donations made by a local Hindu temple.

So what does this strong old woman believe is the key to living a long life?

She said: “People of this modern age have too much stress. And those who do not work or are idle in their old age won’t live long.

"So you have to be active and stress free.".

She added: “You should always be happy, then you will live a long life.”

Im guessing what she smokes is tobacco in its naturalist form. Not the chemically laden shyte we have.
