<p>Yes, college is a time and place where kids experiment, but, it if 70% of the student body is smoking, there is probably more pressure (even subtle pressure) to smoke than on a campus where only 30% of the students smoke. </p>
<p>And, if 70% are smokers, 30% are not, so of course there are plenty of kids on campus who don’t smoke. But that doesn’t invalidate the 70% figue or render the “stereotype” inaccurate.</p>
