    I work in the US at a German owned auto manufacturing plant. Lots of Germans here. They have extremely high rates of smoking compared to the US employees. The difference is especially stark with younger people and college-educated people.

    Virtually no Americans at my plant under 50 with a college degree smoke. Among the Germans at my plant it has to be over 50%.

    I am told that our German sister plant allowed smoking on the shop floor until around 12 years ago.
