I have only been smoking about 4 months, but when I first started, that's what it felt like with me too. One of my friends started smoking about 2 months before I did, another girl I know from school started over the summer, another friend started about a month before me, etc..speaking of which, I think I've told this story before but I can't remember.

For New Year's eve me and 3 friends went to one of their Uncle's house for the week before New Year's. We had smoked all our weed in the days before. One of his cousin's gave us about a gram, so we rolled that in a blunt and smoked. Right after that we break out some Captain Morgan, get buzzed, and decide we want some leftovers (chicken and dumplings, omfg).

Go in to the house and his Uncle's girlfriend is cleaning up the kitchen. She then says something like "So what are you guys looking for, a pipe? Some wraps? Weed? I've got Trainwreck, Sour Diesel, etc etc.." naming all this shit. I can't remember because I was already fucked. Long story short, she ended up giving us about a gram for free. It was good too, made my throat burn.

But yeah, the point of that mile long post was that it does indeed seem like everyone is smoking. I think it's because you become more aware of it once you start doing it.
