Proving the fact that with enough will power anyone can stop smoking, 102 year old Clara Cowell finally kicked the habit after smoking two to three cigarettes per day since she started smoking in 1931. It's estimated she's smoked over 60,000 cigarettes in her lifetime!

Alas, Clara Cowell didn't put down the cigarettes to live longer. She finally stopped smoking after her family convinced her she might burn her house down from the smoking ash.

Whatever the reason, Clara is to be congratulated for taking a healthy step two weeks before her 102nd birthday! It's probably the best present she could give herself.
