TLANTA (Jan. 22) - Kentucky and West Virginia -- where people traditionally smoke the most -- have the highest death rates from smoking, a new federal study has found. Rounding out the 10 states with the highest average annual smoking death rates were Nevada, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Indiana and Missouri.

Here is a very interesting site that details the smoking habits of the country.....map includes national rank, % of smokers in the state, average price per pack & areas where smoking is banned in the state.

It figures that Kentucky would be the only state where the average cost per pack is less than $3.

I realize that tobacco is Kentucky's big cash crop, but there comes a time when we need to learn to grow peanuts or something.
