noticed how many people smoke here?

Personally I don't think many people smoke here - a few, certainly.
I've spent a lot of time in Germany and Austria, and there are certainly many more smokers in public there, than in Finland.
At least they don't smoke inside anymore (unlike Austria & Germany!)

As for their current occupation - well, they probably started smoking before they even had an occupation (as a child),
and maybe the smarter ones quit smoking as they grew older and more educated - which could account for the figures
shown in the study.

I'm sure some other countries are much, much, worse, guessing maybe in Asia or India.
What makes you think there are so many smokers?

I'm more concerned about clearing up the filthy drunken tramps seen lurking around town than a few smokers walking around.

Sounds like you two should nip to the balcony and have a fag.

American or English translation?
