LGBT people and tobacco use is an interesting issue. According to the National LGBT Tobacco Control Network, queer people are 50 to 200 percent more likely to be addicted to smoking than other groups (depending on the group). This is also true among youth populations, who are up to 16 percent more likely to light up than their straight counterparts.
