Among other things, youthful excesses get you in the end. I gave up smoking about 40 years ago but my lung capacity is only 75% of the average for my age. I gave up working in the tropical sun 43 years ago but have had three actinic growths removed from my skin (one from the top of my nose) in the last two years, and have just recently had a widespread outbreak of actinic rashes which are going to take three months to treat. The there's the pacemaker, memory loss and arthritis, you know the kind of thing.
