Illinois statistically off because of Chicago, rest of IL is little different from the midwest.
I work (in IN) at a shop that as a policy doesnt allow smoking, but the manager smokes… so everyone over 45 chain smokes all day and leaves their butts everywhereÂ

I’m confused about California because I always see people smoking around here. But the post doesn’t specify if it’s cigarettes or any other smoking method.

Addiction sucks, but smoking is just dumb.

Completely anecdotal but I work in London/around the UK and in Paris pretty regularly. It feels like there are 5x as many smokers in France/UK compared to my experience in the U.S.
It’s one of those interesting things, to me, because it seems (again anecdotally) that the typical person in Western Europe lives a healthier lifestyle relative to the typical American. But this is like a glaring exception.
Is this just my perception? Or is it a fair observation.

Shocked Maine isn’t higher than the national average. I feel like everyone here smokes, unfortunately.

Does that mean the higher lung cancer rate in West Virginia might not totally be caused by coal mines?

I smoked from 16 to 21, I vape now.. every once in awhile I want a drag off a cigarette and I can’t do it. They’re so nasty. I smoked half a pack a day

I went to college in West Virginia. I was one of the few people who didn’t smoke. It was wild.

This feels like a really good proxy for a lot of….stuff. It doesn’t map to political ideology 100%, but it’s pretty damn close.

In the 90s in Kentucky it felt like my parents were the only two adults I knew that didn’t smoke. Fast forward to today and I rarely ever even see a cigarette. We’re red on this map, but it’s insane to me how little smoking there is now compared to the world I grew up in.

The US has done such an incredible job making smoking undesirable. I remember as a young kid going into restaurants and being asked “smoking or non-smoking?” and that’s just unthinkable now. Nobody i know smokes (though some vape) and for most people smoking is a nonstarter. A complete 180 from buying packs of candy cigs and “smoking” them to feel cool.

I wonder if there’s a direct correlation with the price of cigarettes?

Bullshit. I live in CT, every single pedestrian is smoking, and we are pedestrian laden.
