My impression was that women live longer than men regardless
of the smoking factor.  Is there a definitive reference about this?

All this retirement stuff is a bunch of crud.  Why don't "they"
simply leave it up to the individual to setup an IRA style account
and spend it upon retirement however/how fast they feel like it?
If people don't plan ahead or blow it all early in retirement,
too bad for them.  I am not against starvation based upon stupidity...

Retirement benefits tend to be a lose anyhow because people move
around so much more frequently.  Last job I was at I had money in
the retirement fund for two years during the years of ??% inflation
and when I left I didn't even get simple interest on it.  Mandatory
programs are so great...

I like profit-sharing instead.
