[net.motss] hack cough gasp

Anywhere that I have been where there were more than a handful of gay men
(eg. bars, dances) the air has been unbreathable.  This is because about
90 per cent were smoking.  (50 percent is about what I have heard is the
percentage in the population at large.)  I have two questions:
1. Is the percentage of smokers among gay men really much higher than
   among straight men, or is my observation *entirely* the result of a
   biased sample?
2. If gay men really do smoke in larger numbers, why?
