She Smoked a Lot — And Suffered the Consequences

Princess Margaret picked up the habit of smoking as a young teenager and refused to quit, even after her father died partly due to lung cancer from habitual and so-called "therapeutic" smoking. Unfortunately, she wound up with a cancerous skin lesion in 1980 and had to have part of a lung removed in 1985 due to cancer.
