Wikipedia has a list of the 100 verified oldest people. Only one lived to be over 120: Jeanne Calment, 122 years 164 days. The woman in the #2 spot lived to be over 119. After that, nobody even hit 118, though there are a few still in the running. So I think it’s safe to start smoking on your 119th birthday, since it seems unlikely you’ll be there to celebrate.
