My dad turned 99 yesterday. He is far older than either of his parents or his brother were before they died, and the only medication he takes is for high blood pressure. Everyone in his family were cigarette smokers, and none of them were notably active- he was playing tennis into his 80's. He never smoked, and was moderate in his alcohol consumption.
Genetics count for a lot, but so does lifestyle is, I guess, my take-away.
