Sure but basically those who don't live as long get to those 85+ years sooner. I used to hear "No one wants to live those years anyway" as a snide response to the idea that smoking takes years off your life.
It's not that it takes the bad old decrepit years away; it takes away healthy years and brings the unhealthy ones sooner.
