Bad boys, bad boys what ya gonna do when they come for you. (and your welcome if that song is in your head now).
On an average shift I’m in about 10-15 people’s homes. Every single day. And usually in poor neighborhoods as thats where most calls for service come from. So yeah, I have a huge base of experience to draw from.
You can theorize or argue as the reasons but its statistically true beyond any shadow of a doubt that poor people smoke cigarettes fare more than wealthy. Every other day or so I end up in a rich person’s home, virtually never see evidence of cigarette smoking. Almost without fail when at a poor person’s home handling a call they are smoking while I’m talking to them.
Or how about some charts from the CDC showing that smoking is far far more prevalent amongst the poor which is exactly what I’m saying.
