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.

Two years ago I would have read your post and thought to myself... blah blah blah... second hand smoke... blah... blah...
BUT! I sit here today a smoker without a room in his own house and have done since my son was born... I smoke outside, as does my fair lady, for our son’s sake! It wasn't until the midwife explained everything they 'suspect' from secondary smoking that I realised my boy will have clean air to breath whenever I can control it!
We actually quit together while Toni was pregnant... 9 months, 3 weeks and 2 days... no problems... till we both went out on a night out to celebrate.... 3 hours later we were committed again... really sad and weak I know...
Nicotine = The most addictive product known to man!
