I prefer Reddit/Twitter/ Pinterest(don't post on pinterest tho) over Fb/Instagram :P
Also I can't stand smoke, likely allergic actually (burning eyes, nose, migraines etc) so I avoid smokers and those close know not to smoke around me.
I haven't noticed more men vs women smoking here, except for how much (women seem to just smoke less often). I'm guessing those who smoke just occasionally don't consider themselves smokers, which might skew the statistics.
My family is more on creative side regardless of gender, actually don't know many techy people in general here compared to economists/lawyers etc.
I think there might be a profession skew too, where women are more likely to work in offices and men out in the field, like construction sites. This would likely also influence whether someone is a smoker or not.
I don't think that's the case, they get some breaks that non smokers don't really. I couldn't believe how many smoke breaks my uni (quit) classmates took before.
