Counting a rough estimate of how many cigarettes he smoked over 80 years.

72 and 74 is not mid-life. Mid-life is around 40...

Most people don't go down in mid-life due to smoking. Their lives are usually shortened though. Like your mother (and mine. She had COPD).

Um, Len Bias did a wee bit more than one line of cocaine.
From Wikipedia:
After returning home to Maryland, Bias drove back to the campus of the University of Maryland. He left campus at approximately 2 a.m. on Thursday, June 19, drove to an off-campus gathering, and returned to his dormitory between 2:30 and 3 a.m.[9] For the next three to four hours, Bias, longtime friend Brian Tribble, and several teammates repeatedly insufflated cocaine in the dormitory suite shared by Bias and his teammates.[10][11][12] Bias reportedly had a seizure and collapsed while talking with teammate Terry Long.[9][13] At 6:32 a.m., when Tribble called 911, Bias was unconscious and not breathing.[12] All attempts by the emergency medical team to restart his heart and breathing were unsuccessful.[9] After additional attempts to revive him at Leland Memorial Hospital in Riverdale, Maryland, Bias was pronounced dead at 8:55 a.m. of a cardiac arrhythmia related to usage of cocaine. It was reported that there were no other drugs or alcohol found in his system.[14][15][16][17]
