I agree with that, just the whole, “what’s their secret” makes it seem like they have an elixir of youth or something like that.
I remember reading about the world's oldest person at the time some years ago - French woman of 120 - she said her secret was eating 200 grams of chocolate a day. She also said she smoked for 30 years, starting when she was in her 60s and quitting when she hit 100.
