Maybe a t-test?
But no, wait this would require a normal distribution

@Eli, That's what I know. What I want to know is if this has a statistical significance.

Simple Binominal test with true propablility of 29% for smoking.

Which software do you use?

The best test that you can do is: Chi-square test

A t test is inappropriate for this one.

Meanwhile I found some chi^2-like test which did the thing.

Thanks to all of you who contributed constructively.
