“Old age”. Exactly how old is old age? Is it a mindset or or an actual number?🤔

I think she means 70+ or so.

I read that having social contact with at least 5 different people each week during old age is important for brain stimulation to protect against dementia. I’m not sure whether a discussion on an internet forum counts as being as helpful as a regular chat with a local shop keeper mind?

I think it still makes a difference.

Is it worth giving up the stuff you like so you can have an extra 2 years in the nursing home.

You might postpone your time in the nursing home if you live a life 'in moderation' (to quote Stees).

Sounds like you should be happy about some more government control over peoples diets. Eg had the govt passed legislation 30 years ago to control smoking and consumption of sugars and carbs, heavily processed meats, you might have benefitted.

It's also about feeling content, if not happy, and not expecting too much. 🙂

I agree with that and it also results in a great cost to our national health service but what would young people be banned from doing next? Perhaps a ban on buying sweets?

Too much sweets isn't good either, too much of anything in fact isn't good but cigarettes being so addictive and harmful are difficult to compare with other things.

children blewo 15? In germayn it is illegal to buy smokes below 16.

In fact yes I think governament has an obligation to shield children and teens from developping harmful ways.

I agree there - I think we all owe it to our children to avoid the destructive habit of smoking. It does great harm.
