Cigarette smoking rate is widely studied; no reason to use anecdotal data here.
The tobacco smoking rate in New York is 14.1%; it's 11.3% in California. Some difference, yes, but far less difference than you see between either and some rural southern states where the numbers can be roughly double that.
