There are no choices provided, however, a functional age refers to a person's chronological, physical, mental, and emotional stages. If he has been smoking most of his life, his 68-year old body would probably be 20-30% older than his actual age. In order for him to sustain a longer functional age, he must slowly learn how to stop his vices.
