KMAN:
=============
I was quite surprised to find more slightly more smokers in Canada. I
bet a
lot of Canadians would be surprised by that, although I remember
encountering "smoke free" shopping malls in areas of the US long before
most
places in Canada caught on. I know the gap is only 2% but it still
surprised
me.

I too was surprised by that stat. Interestingly (my anecdotal
observation only), the further east one travels in Canada, the more one
is likely to encounter smoking. Here on the left coast, smokers are
definitely an anomaly.
