When asked in a recent survey whether they would prefer smoke-free bars and clubs, 59% of adults in the US, including those who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered, said they preferred a smoke-free environment.
"The good news is, lesbians and gays seem willing to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to eliminating smoke in bars and clubs not yet covered by smoke-free laws," said Colleen Dermody, vice president of Witeck-Combs Communications.
"The bad news is that 34% of gays are still smoking cigarettes despite 2001 survey results which showed 98% of gay smokers and tobacco chewers understand that smoking increases their risk of lung cancer and heart disease. They know smoking is unhealthy, but, according to these latest results, a third of them continue to smoke."
