Why do so many people smoke in Thailand?

I guess it is a cultural bakground thing. I know many offshore workers, sailors, and craftsmen came to Thailand especially those who is born before the 70’ies who is smoking. 
 

Most of those I frequently socialise with, do not smoke or smoke anymore. Smoking tobacco is a dying habit, at least I hope

I think OP's numbers 80/50% are way off.   My peers, family, friends and coworkers, and I guess  10% at most smoked.  Less so here, though I don't know that many folks here.  Can't think of anyone, in my family (USA) that smokes, that's alive.  Maybe 20 out there, still kicking.

 

But I also don't understand how anyone can smoke or use tobacco products.   There's simply too much negative information out there for anyone to even start smoking.
