Mostly True World

Jeanne Calment, one of the oldest documented people, reportedly smoked for 100 years, drank wine daily, and ate two pounds of chocolate weekly, dying at 122.

Jeanne Calment's longevity and lifestyle have been well-documented, with evidence supporting her age at 122 years, her smoking habits until a late age, and her consumption of chocolate and wine. Fact-check sources confirm her age and family history. No definitive independent verification of her smoking for the entire 100 years was documented. However, web sources consistently attest to her long-term smoking and chocolate consumption, aligning with Calment's known lifestyle practices.
