I think it's regional. I literally can think of only two persons I
know who smoke.


Don't bet on it -- I also only personally know two people who smoke. And we
attract a wide cross-section of society, and people from all over the world,
due to the university.

I really think smoking has become such a stigma that people are lying about
it when asked. I also think there are a whole bunch of people I would call
"social smokers" -- people who have somehow avoided the addictive nature of
smoking, and only smoke "on occasion" or while drinking.

When they're out on the town, enjoying a night at a luxury suites hotel,
they want to really "let go" -- and that apparently means smoking, too.
