QUES: Nasser had few personal vices other than chain smoking. He maintained 18-hour workdays and rarely took time off for vacations.

He suffered two major heart attacks (in 1966 and 1969), and was on bed rest for six weeks after the second episode. State media reported that Nasser's absence from the public view at that time was a result of influenza.
