A couple of years ago, the oldest living person on record, a French woman, was interviewed by a news magazine. She was around 122 years old (I forget her exact age), smoked regularly (hey, she's from France) and had a marvelous wit. After asking the woman about the problems that extreme old age had brought with it, the interviewer asked her what problems she *no longer* had to deal with because of her age. She thought for a moment, and responded, "Peer pressure."
