I sometimes question these figures and wonder if there aren't many closet smokers.
Within our Houston FReeper Chapter the percentage of smokers is 80 - 90%. Are conservatives more likely to smoke because they more willing to make decisions for themselves, rather than live by the Nanny State guidelines?

First, they came for the smokers, but since I wasn't a smoker, I didn't care....
I bet they'd howl with outrage if the gov started taxing their favorite habit/vice. Big Mac tax? SUV tax?
I wish those who advocate taxes on OTHER people would realize the gov is raising taxes because they want more money to spend, not because they're trying to reform smokers.
Here they go again, the taxes provide for politicians wasting money, spend like drunken sailors and whom hasn't got the foggiest idea about finances.
