grammatically, is it right to say this?

Hi, i just want to know if its right grammatically correct to say:
“I don’t smoke and the reason why is just that I don’t want to die, and it might be the same reason for why I might start smoking someday"

the second part of the quote is it grammatically correct?
thank you.

Anonymous I don’t smoke , and the reason ( why ) is just that I don’t want to die, and it might be the same reason ( for why ) I might start smoking someday . It's correct as shown. The words in red parentheses are not needed.
