Her upper body is a bit stiff and she's got a bit of a hunch back.
Look at her shoes, though. Not super high heels, but not flats or kitten heels. I'd say at least 3-inch stiletto-style heels. If she were in bad shape, she wouldn't be wearing those.
She was pretty considerate in the way that she held her cigarette, but she did take the cig into the car.
Anyway, when I am her age, I'd be happy to be out to dinner with friends.

Just wanna say I quit smoking 8 days ago. I started up again during Covid after 21 years smoke-free, and felt like I was never going to be able to quit gain, because quitting the first time was so, so, so hard. I'm 51 and I knew I had to quit now or accept a potentially shortened and compromised life span marred potentially by health issues. But after many failed attempts, I think I have cracked the code. Instead of viewing myself as a smoker trying to quit, I reframed it as I'm just a nonsmoker, who doesn't smoke. That was the reframe I needed, and I have not felt tormented about quitting. It's been much easier. I just keep thinking "Well, I see there is a craving right now in my body, but I'm a nonsmoker, so...not sure what I can possibly do about that." I suggest anyone trying to quit stop labeling themselves as a smoker who wants to quit, and start referring to yourself as a nonsmoker. It is a powerful reframe, and it works.
Having said all of that, I don't care if Bette smokes. I'm surprised, and I also think it's sort of adorable. Her life, her choices. She's got plenty of money for health care and I assume she's not a chain smoker. She's a real character!

Alcohol and marijuana, like cigarette smoking, pose significant dangers and expenses to society. Alcohol consumption leads to addiction, impaired driving, and increased healthcare costs due to liver disease, heart problems, and accidents. Marijuana use, though often perceived as safer, can impair cognitive function, contribute to mental health issues, and lead to dependency, increasing healthcare and social service burdens. Both substances also result in lost productivity, legal costs, and enforcement expenses. The societal impact of alcohol and marijuana, in terms of health risks, economic costs, and social consequences, parallels the well-documented harms of cigarette smoking.

I do appreciate Bette Midler’s friendship with Barry Manilow. He was her accompaniment, early in Bette’s career. This association no doubt helped him to get heard by record executives which after signing and success established him. Barry introduced Bette to Melissa Manchester who was among the first of Bette Midler’s famous Harlette’s. Within a span of months or a few years, Melissa Manchester was also signed to a record label and began a successful career in music.

R131 I dont think you can blame gay men here...society as a whole (particularly libs, ironically) have grown sticks ups their asses, long fingers to point and judge and long noses to look down on. Sad times. Hopefully I am alive to see whatever generation is going to tear that shit up and make them miserable.

Smokers make 17.5% less a year than non smokers. Smokers are less likely to be hired than non smokers. Smoking is much much higher among the poor. Well known facts.
Addictions are rarely helpful to a quality life. Smokers get lots of support on DL. DL has many suicide threads from those members who want to kill themselves often because they are poor.

Deep thoughts R145. I like to smoke a cig after a good meal. Standing in the street so as not offend those on the sidewalk with my sad and triggering habit, these two fully-clenched gay finger-pointers strolled by holding hands. As they went by, they didn't make eye contact, just gave me a side-eye smirk and frantically fanned the air as they passed. Yaas girls, judgment noted.

Smokers always think if they turn their head and blow their smoke, or stand next to an open window and blow their smoke, that it's somehow fine and tolerable...no, it fucking stinks. People still have to deal with your funk, do that shit at home.

All four of my grandparents smoked. I watched 2 grandparents die from lung cancer. It’s a horrible way to go. Third grandparent got COPD and spent his last years gasping for air. Also awful to watch. Fourth grandparent had a stroke at 62. All 4 were dead before 75. Their parents were dirt poor but lived into their 80/90s. My great grandfather barely survived the famine in Ireland but lived to 97! So, I got the message. We don’t have the genes for smoking! I never smoked or vaped and seeing a young person smoke in real life tends to bring up awful images of the suffering of my grandparents.
However, the sight of Liza puffing away in her limo or Bette sneaking a smoke after dinner doesn’t bother me. I kind of think “good for them and I wish I had those genes!”

My grandfather and great grandmother both smoked like chimneys, unfiltered cigarettes. He lived to be 84 and she lived to be 91.

I used to smoke. I loved it. If it was free and healthy I wouldn't have quit. I'm not sorry I did though not by a longshot. Drinking is also pretty unhealthy and no one looks down upon it

R153 True. I think it’s because alcohol is far less likely to kill you. You have to be a raging alcohol for a long time to die directly from alcohol. I have many alcoholics in my family. None have a drinking related illness (yet) but one uncle has PAD from smoking to the point that he cannot walk to his mailbox (he’s 64) and my other uncle is already dead (at 58) from lung cancer. Both men drank an ocean of booze over decades.

I've known more nonsmokers who died from esophageal cancer related to alcohol intake.
[quote]The risk of developing esophageal cancer is 1.3 times higher for people who consume one or two drinks per day and 5 times higher for those who consume four or more drinks daily. The risk of esophageal cancer is also higher among individuals who consume alcohol and have an atypical form of ALDH2.

Smoking is a GIANT pleasure but only up to 30. Possibly 40. It's a young person's unhealthy habit.
Most of the culture that supported smoking pleasurably and glamorously is gone now, even in Paris! Oh well.

R167, I hate to break it to you, but there are a hell of a lot more smokers than there are private jet owners. Every time she exhales she's creating pollution which affects her precious "green" agenda.
R170, multiply that by 30 million US smokers and their "couple cigarettes."
She creates green spaces which thrive on oxygen in order to survive, while depriving her lungs of the same. Makes sense.

Unless climate change is impacted by fires, home fires, forest fires, etc I doubt smoking plays much of a role in climate change.
Smoking is a significant cause of fires inc fatal fires. Not the major cause a significant cause.

I have often heard that unattractive people age better because they already have hard, uneven features that do not change dramatically with age, as can be the case with those who are attractive. Sadly for Bette, this is not the case for her: she's always been ugly but God, she now looks like she should be playing every Disney witch in history.
