In case you are wondering, that was in 1972...I think. Made a bet with a friend of mine as to who could quit for the longest time. He's dead, so if I start smoking he wins because he won't start again, and I don't like losing bets.

Bite me.
The word “irony” is frequently used figuratively, especially in such phrases as “the irony of fate,” of an issue or result that seems to contradict normal expectations derived from the previous state or condition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony
It's Ironic that OLDMAN sees his situation the way he does. His desire to NOT lose a bet is > than his desire to begin smoking again. Someone jonesing for a smoke could just say they one, because the the other half of the bet is no long living. OLDMAN is smart enough to not see it that way.
That, IMO, is a form of irony.
