I know plenty of people who smoked/drank alcohol frequently (not alcoholic), never exercised and ate a "bad diet" and lived to 70/80 and others who "lived a healthy lifestyle" who dropped dead/died < 70.

I think genetics/randomness/accidents/homicide/genocide/suicide etc are 95% the cause of mortality. Drugs/booze/smoking/obesity are much smaller than people think.
