An NPR reporter says that Gay men and lesbians in California are 70% more likely to smoke than the general population according to a recent UCLA study. Alarmed by these high rates, state health officials have designed a new Anti-Smoking Campaign to focus on gay smokers.

There's an article on MSN called 'Why Do Gays Smoke So Much?'
http://slate.msn.com/id/2086565/

I wonder how they arrived at these statistics? How would they possibly know what I am likely to do? Why would I be more likely to smoke that a str8 guy? I can't even begin to imagine what the campaign would be like.
