How many FIRE members are (or were) smokers?
As a generalization , one would expect that this forum is probably more well-informed, better-educated, and with a higher percentage of overachievers than the general population. That would lead me to believe that there are fewer smokers than the national average.
Also, one would expect that the age demographics of this group are such that many of us grew up in an era when smoking was widely accepted and before the health risks were not as well known.That would lead me to believe that there are more smokers than the national average.
