Walt Disney smoked for 40 years.

Even today, nearly fifty years after his death, it is impossible to determine the cause of an individual's lung cancer. Lung cancer is multi-factorial, i.e. it is a combination of factors that cause the condition. Los Angeles, where Disney lived, is only a few hundred miles from the atomic testing sites in Nevada, where over 500 atomic detonations were carried out in the 1950s and 1960s. This could also have attributed to his development of lung cancer.
