Today's entry for the "Why bother?" file:
Birthday girl Clara Cowell has proved that it's never too late to change bad habits. At 102 years old, she finally quit smoking after picking up the habit in 1931.

According to the Daily Mail, Ms. Cowell has smoked two to three cigarettes a day since picking up the habit - amounting to about 60,000 cigarettes in her lifetime.
Sorry, but smoking two to three cigarettes a day is not a "habit," bad or otherwise. It's like saying somebody who has a beer on his birthday and a glass of wine on Christmas day has a drinking problem.
