So now you’re giving credence to the casual comment in the OP that 70% smoke? Stats?</p>
<p>Now it’s a known fact that the best-selling vehicle in the United States has, for the last few decades, been the Ford F-150 pickup truck. And yet many of us resist the temptation. The majority of kids are not vegetarian, yet vegetarians somehow aren’t compelled to chew on cow flesh. The most popular flavor of ice-cream is supposed to be vanilla, overwhelmingly and yet I don’t waste my calories unless it has chocolate chips in it. Tobacco’s hook is that it is addictive. Get over it. It’s the truth. So don’t start! ;)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure we’ve beaten this dead horse enough. Most will agree that there are a lot of smokers at Bard. Probably nowhere near 70% though. And most likely no more on a percentage basis than at Sarah Lawrence, Vassar, or any LAC, or even HYPS. </p>
<p>Those who don’t smoke would probably prefer that number to be smaller. It’s the same everywhere. Y’all must have something better to do, right? Sheesh.</p>
