It would be interesting to do a psychological study of the types of personalities that are attracted to this industry.

Smoking is a very common trait as the poll reviews.

I believe if you surveyed any other group of people at random, those numbers would be inverted. I haven't gone to try to dig up any numbers, but I would bet the percentage of smokers is now maybe 25% or less in the U.S.

First page I found on google agrees:

But adult webmasters often chain smoke. It's one of the reasons I do not go to more trade shows than I do. Anywhere you go to network and mingle, you're going to be smelling smoke. I swear, when I get home and open the suitcase, the whole fucking thing smells like an ashtray just from being around all the second hand smoke.

One of the reasons I like Vegas for shows is because the casinos replace the air so often that even though they're filled with smokers there is no gray haze. I can still smell it and dont like it, but at least I dont get that pounding headache that comes with being in a closed up room with it.
