– Batuli Lamichhane, who is 112 years old,claims smoking is the key to longevity
– The woman has smoked 30 cigarettes a day for the last 95 years
– “You should always be happy, then you will live a long life.”
Batuli Lamichhane has defied the odds by living to 112 years despite she is a heavy-smoker. Over the past 95 years the old lady has smoked out about 30 cigarettes a day and believes this habit allowed her to outlive almost all fellow villagers, husband and even children.
Batuli from Nepal was born in March 1903 ans started smoking when she
turned 17. Nevertheless, she is still healthy and strong, all household
chores the great grandmother does single-handedly and refuses moving to
her relatives’s house.
She said: “I dont really care how old I am. But I am old
nonetheless. I have seen a lot of things change during my lifetime. I
have been smoking for over 95 years. There is nothing wrong with
smoking.”
But the woman recommends to avoid “commercially made” cigarettes and
smoke locally made ‘beedis’ — thin roll-ups filled with tobacco flake
and wrapped in tendu leaf. Currently, Batuli lives off donations made by
a local Hindu temple.
When asked what’s her secret to a long life, the 112-year-old ingenuously answered: “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. You should always be happy, then you will live a long
life.”
