Re: LGBT "community" -

There have been studies to show that lesbians and gay men are more likely to smoke. I think the last figure I read was that they're 70% more likely to smoke than heterosexuals. Also, the study I read said that homosexuals are more likely to be stressed, so they might use smoking to relieve that. I don't know if that's true or not, but I suppose it makes sense on some level. Not many anti-smoking ad campaigns focus on the LGBT community.
On a personal note, I'm a lesbian and I do smoke actually. And my gay friends are really my only friends who smoke. It could just be a coincidence, but there might also be something there to think about.
I lost myself in the space between heaven and hell.
...where do we go from here?

Still struggling and surviving.
