Huh?

"The states with the highest current smoking prevalence among adults 
were Nevada (31.5 percent), Kentucky (29.7 percent) and Ohio (27.6 
percent). The lowest smoking prevalence rates among adults were found in 
Utah (13.9 percent), followed by Hawaii (18.6 percent), California (18.7 
percent), Massachusetts (19.4 percent) and Minnesota (19.5 percent). 
Smoking prevalence in Puerto Rico (13.7 percent) was lower than in any 
of the 50 states."

State voting 2004 presidential election:

Nevada: Bush
Kentucky: Bush
Ohio: Bush

Utah: Bush (those durn mormons screw it up)
Hawaii: Kerry
California: Kerry
Massachusetts: Kerry
Minnesota: Kerry

With the exception of Utah, the "high smoking" states voted republican 
and the "low smoking" states voted democratic.

Puerto Rico, of course, didn't get a vote.

One might further note that the same pattern prevailed in 2000.

No wonder the oregon republicans opposed the proposed increase in the 
cigarette tax.  More smokers seems to equal more republicans.

Peace and justice,
