Default Smoking during rest stops

I quit smoking a while back but the one thing I still really miss is stoping to stretch the legs and smoking a cigarette. I was just wondering within the bike culture, how many people still smoke versus don't.

Had a heck of a time quiting and part of the problem with Sturgis bike week. Don't know what it was about the trip up and back, but I would almost always start by my first gas stop on the way up (the wife used to smoke then, so she would always have one at a rest break). A couple times I would smoke for the whole week, but then quit again when I got home....or not. Its been over 3 years now without, so I'm hoping my next trip up will be smoke free...since the wife has finally quit too.
