Who's Left-handed And Who's Right-handed?

OK, I once read an article, many many years ago in a science magazine. Now, about 10% percent of the population is left-handed. But, we lefties make up about 40% percent of heavy smokers. I'm left-handed myself. OK, this is not a scientific survey. I'm just curious to know which one of ya cigar smokin' fools is a lefty or a righty. I've been smoking a pipe and cigars since I was only 19 years old, and I'll be 62 on the 30th of September.

I'm right handed,........ in case you're still counting.
So, out of a total of 14 responses, so far, 6 out of 14 of us are left-handed.
14/6=2.333333
The reciprocal of 2.333333 or 1/2.3333333=0.42857
That is approximately 42 or almost 43% percent of us who are left-handed.
Remember, only about 10% percent of the total population is left-handed.
So, it appears that we lefties make up about 40 - 43% percent of smokers.
But, I'll still be counting as more of ya post here. So, the polls aren't closed yet.
Well, if you write, draw, or paint with your left-hand, then you are mostly left-handed. But if you can do other things with your right hand, then you are ambidextrous, but still, mostly left-handed.
So, that makes one more lefty.
That should raise the percentage score to about 43% percent.
But, I'll wait for more forum posts before making another calculation.
Remember, this is not a scientific survey. I'm just having some fun here.
Oh! By the way! I have nick-names for my left and right hand. I call my left-hand Lenny, and my right-hand Ralph, and my fat belly, I call Baby Huey! Right now, Baby Huey is getting a little hungry. So, I'll catch ya gators later!
Well, I'm asking about BOTH left-handed AND right-handed smokers.
I've heard is said, that only left-handed people are in their right minds!
Well, I'm a hefty lefty. But, I'm a crazy old coot!
Well, I would say, you're ambidextrous, leaning toward lefty, since you write with your left hand. The hand you use for writing is my criteria for classifying someone as either left-handed or right-handed.
Of course, as I have said earlier, this is not a scientific survey.
