Humans could reach 140 before this century is out, scientists say.

Experts say that living past 120 may become the norm, with the limit of life expectancy "still far away".

Cardiologist Taulant Gishto told Euronews Albania that statistics showed that 60 percent of those who broke the age limit several times were smokers.

"We must be optimistic that in the future there may be more longevity. The question is whether it is related to our genes or our lifestyle. Studies have, contradictorily, shown that individuals who lived the longest were not puritans, 60 percent of them were lifetime smokers, 35 percent of them were obese. So they weren't the most puritanical individuals but they lived longer. Therefore, it was discovered that the genetic component was more decisive in this part", said the cardiologist.
