People probably complain about gas prices in other countries, even though they may also smoke cigs that are also way overpriced there as well.

Also, how do you know that the people who complain about gas prices ... also smoke cigarettes?

Do you have like a Venn diagram you can show us, with stats that illustrate the overlap between the two populations?
