Where I live (in Idaho on the WA border) I see a lot more people chewing than smoking. Some of that is because one can't smoke many places other than bars (WA just passed a new smoking ban that includes bars), and chewing is another way to get the nic fix. I have family in California and Oregon, and there is a lot of healthy behavior and a lot of outdoors activities because it is rather lovely here. The University sponsors a lot of different programs to increase health ranging from exercise programs, healthy eating lectures, smoking cessation, and even Weight Watchers at work. I am sure a lot of the motivation has to do with insurance rates and absenteeism due to illness, but there are so many offerings there are no excuses.
