- Anim8ir, on 01/09/2009, -10/+294I'm on my 4th day of being smoke free. WOO! Take one away from Kansas
- danwallace, on 01/09/2009, -10/+249Quitter.
- iblaze4sc, on 01/09/2009, -5/+163i thought this was about weed
but CA's % is way to low for that to be true - inactive, on 01/09/2009, -16/+160I don't want to be judgmental. I really don't. But the top 5 are:
Kentucky
West Virginia
Oklahoma
Mississippi
Alaska
There are many correlations available for those states: Crime, teen pregnancy, voting tendencies, etc. When your state shows up in the "bad" factoids multiple times...
Just Sayin - Davin900, on 01/09/2009, -11/+118Well, I'm in Kansas and I just started up again so you are canceled out.
- Lain1k, on 01/09/2009, -35/+129Neat. Lowest smoking rate is in Utah. To bad they have one of the highest rates of crazy religion. Crazy religion...is that redundant?
- Jforsyth89, on 01/09/2009, -1/+73In the words of the great Mark Twain:
"Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times." - Tomholius, on 01/09/2009, -2/+71then you will be a double quitter
- Ribby18, on 01/09/2009, -5/+65That's awesome, good luck!
- percypersimmon, on 01/09/2009, -3/+62are cigarettes the cheapest in Kentucky because they have the highest percentage of smokers, or does Kentucky have the highest percentage of smokers because cigarettes are so cheap?
- Sabre24q7, on 01/09/2009, -15/+70How can someone be "proud" that they smoke lol.
A.) Smoking tastes nasty and leaves mouth dry.
B.) It's extremley bad for your health in many ways.
C.) Waste of money.
I dont see one positive thing about smoking, and if someone says it makes me look "cool" i will smack you. - Tomholius, on 01/09/2009, -0/+53so those two people I killed last night actually mean I saved 1 person.
- DearSergio, on 01/09/2009, -7/+59It's like 7$ a pack here in MA. But when it comes down to it, it's really the "***** it" mentality that gets people to smoke.
"I know it's wicked bad for me, they're gross, girls (non-smokers) don't like them, but ***** it, I'll smoke em' anyway"
That, and they're addicting. - MPB13, on 01/09/2009, -7/+57I'd smoke too if Palin was my governor.
- Anim8ir, on 01/09/2009, -2/+46It's only been 4 days, there's still plenty chance to quit quitting.
- Cojafoji, on 01/09/2009, -3/+46Mormons you dumb ass.
- FriedTurkey, on 01/09/2009, -10/+53Just say you think red state rednecks are dumb *****. Coastal liberals need red states to achieve all of there self-worth. Who else would they look down on?
- Zomgondo, on 01/09/2009, -9/+51Ok! Red state rednecks are dumb *****.
- Czechxican, on 01/09/2009, -1/+39the egg
- JokersSmile, on 01/09/2009, -6/+39I know it's a dirty habit, makes my breath and me smell. But honestly it helps me relax. It's my choice to smoke. I respect people that don't smoke by not smoking around them.
Plus it's a ton better than all the drugs i used to do. - digitalpencil, on 01/10/2009, -0/+32^ what? i meant a gay man, what did you think i meant? o_O
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -3/+33Now, someone superimpose state education levels on top of that data.
- HotBaconSauce, on 01/09/2009, -3/+29If you're looking down on anyone for being from a certain state you are most certainly an *****.
- BlackGaff, on 01/09/2009, -1/+27Actually, Utahns don't have the highest rate of religion, the dominant religion just happens to frown up smoking. Percentage wise, look to the South for higher rates of religion.
- twiztidsinz, on 01/09/2009, -7/+32If there was no one below us we wouldnt need to look down.
- Chamrox, on 01/09/2009, -0/+25Hmmm, smoking looks to be high in states where there ain't nothin else to do.
- 8bitflu, on 01/09/2009, -1/+25Jerkasaurus Rex.
- Troy64, on 01/09/2009, -0/+23Maybe cigarettes are the cheapest because tobacco is a major crop in Kentucky. They probably have a pretty good lobby against taxing the ***** out ot cigarettes.
- lisaawesome, on 01/09/2009, -8/+31This holier than thou ***** towards smoking gets so old. Just because you don't smoke doesn't mean you're so much better than all the smokers of the world. Absolutely everyone has a vice. I think smoking tastes good just like coffee and alcohol and dick tastes good but I don't go after people who disagree with me and get on their case about it.
- illinoise89, on 01/09/2009, -2/+25Haha you Brits. You have no idea how much you crack us Americans up with that term.
- and303, on 01/09/2009, -7/+29Some people are proud to have the freedom to do whatever they want with their lungs. I say this as a nonsmoker.
- MirrorminD, on 01/09/2009, -4/+24How old is this? It says there is no bans in PA and Philly along with many other cities have banned it from bars and resturants for way over a year. Plus just a few months ago a state wide ban for all places not unless its a bar where food served is 30% or less. Buried for horrible inaccuracies
- spectxim, on 01/09/2009, -0/+20That's due to the fact of when theres weed, why on earth would people want to smoke cigarettes.
- danwallace, on 01/09/2009, -1/+21Man, next thing you know they'll make it illegal for me to have my dick out in public.
- imbetterthanu, on 01/09/2009, -2/+21Just over three years for me.
The first two weeks suck, especially if you liked to smoke with alcohol or your morning coffee.
I used the patch and it really worked for me, and I was at a pack a day before i quit.
Good luck. - nofx1510, on 01/09/2009, -3/+22two negatives negate each other there for hes a winner!
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -1/+20I knew a guy who loved to make tough statements about smoking like
"you gotta' die of something" Till he got cancer and dropped down to 80lbs (he was 6' tall) and he couldn't make tough-guy statements anymore when the doctors cut his tongue out and had tubes stuffed down his gullet. Yeah, real tough guy.
wasn't even 50 years old..... - ScoobyXT, on 01/09/2009, -3/+21It has to do with Tobacco being Kentucky's #1 'legal' cash crop. Everyone here smokes. I smoked for almost 20 year and quite 3 years ago.
- TheManiacKY, on 01/09/2009, -0/+18I'm not a smoker, but I do live in Kentucky. To be honest with you, I can understand why smoking is so high here. Tobacco is still Kentucky #1 cash crop. So while we are making it for everyone else, it makes since we as a state would use it more. We also don't have state bands on it, but my work place requires you must smoke in your car and not in the parking lot/building. Also smoking in restaurants are a county by county law and I've not been in a county for years that allowed smoking in any public buildings.
- lornefs, on 01/09/2009, -3/+20Keep it up, it does get easier, eventually.
- JokersSmile, on 01/09/2009, -2/+19There's about to be even less smokers in Utah. Our wonderful govenor huntsman wants to raise the tax on cigarettes from $0.70 to $3.00 a pack. The highest tax in the US. It'll put us at some of the most expensive cigarettes in the US.
His reasoning, to force people to quit smoking. - inactive, on 01/09/2009, -3/+20You can't die from second hand fries.
- nofx1510, on 01/09/2009, -0/+17tomholius from what I remember from my english classes as long as you kill an even amount of people your safe.
- inactive, on 01/09/2009, -0/+16 Whoa whoa, you're depressing the ***** out of me, dawg, and it's almost the weekend.
- harronoob, on 01/09/2009, -2/+18*record scratching*
Did I just read what I thought I read?! - ancientdinko, on 01/09/2009, -0/+15Alaska is #5 and packs are among highest at $ 5.81
- MrAsparagus, on 01/09/2009, -1/+16OOOOOO BBBUUUURRRRN,
- harronoob, on 01/09/2009, -0/+14I'm fascinated by topics like this which have digg split in twain! It seems so often that digg is cut and dried pro or against something, but the dialog on a topic like this is a breath of fresh air... no anti-smoking pun intended.

Tobacco Companies: Thank goodness they are as addictive as heroin and rebellious teenagers thinks it's sticking it to the man by paying the man to slowly kill themselves. stupid kids. muhahahaah now lets go kill some baby seals and pour toxic waste into school yards. - Ozzsanity, on 01/09/2009, -0/+14Reported to the secret service.
