This was my grandma man. She died at 98 smoking until the very end. She used to drive a 1972 Lincon Continental I would ride in the back seat with no chair or seat belt as she chain-smoked filterless Camels and spit dip into a Styrofoam coffee cup.
Edit: I called Camels “cowboy killers” but those were Marlboros and that’s what my mom smoked. Grandma didn’t dig filters because “that’s how you get cancer.”
I had an uncle that smoked like it was a cure for cancer and would sit over a sprayer tank pouring chem in there with a smoke hanging out the side of his mouth and no gloves on. Washed his hands with gasoline to get the grease off.

To be fair back in those days I believe filters were made containing asbestos. Your grandma was a smart cookie!
Edit: This was actually the 50s
That was true for a time. I think it was the 50’s when cigarette companies were using asbestos for their filters.
I think that was actually some other horrible lung disease.
