STUDY: Gay Adults More Likely To Smoke, Less Likely To Quit | A new study from the University of Colorado Cancer Center reveals that not only are gay adults more likely to smoke cigarettes than the general public, but they are also less inclined to quit. According to the survey, 70 percent of LGBT smokers said that they were not planning to quit, compared to 60 percent of the general public who say they are planning to quit or are at least considering it. These results jibe with a study published in December that found that members of the LGBT community are twice as likely to smoke and an issue brief published last year demonstrating how tobacco companies specifically target the LGBT community with advertisements.
