Live long and prosper
As far as I can tell, the real secret to living a long time is to move very slowly and never have sex. Just recently, the world's oldest animal died - a 255-year-old tortoise called Adwaita, a lifelong bachelor. Apparently, he had been the pet tortoise of Clive of India in the mid-18th century. The article doesn't say whether Adwaita ever smoked.
