Why do women smoke more today?
Currently, in all countries of Western Europe, as well as in the United States and Canada, and in Australia and New Zealand, two constants are observed in smoking patterns:
on the one hand, women around 40 years old would have to give up smoking in a lesser proportion than men of the same age;
On the other hand, adolescents are larger than male adolescents. This means that in certain age cohorts, smoking has become a predominantly female activity.
The problem is that women are as bad as women, the other things, the process of equality. Middle-aged women are more or less motivated to stop smoking and for which girls and boys are smoking almost 50% more than their male counterparts5. The answer to this or these questions is not known. Among the reasons that have been used to explain this phenomenon are:
• 1. PUBLICITY
The first factor that can influence the current higher female consumption is advertising. The analysis of the intrinsic8-9 and extrinsic10 characteristics of tobacco advertisements shows that the female population is the public
• 2. ASSOCIATION WITH NEGATIVE REASONS
When analyzing the differences in smoking behavior between women and men, it is observed that in general it is very similar, finding differences only in two aspects: 1) in general, men are overrepresented in the group of heavy smokers (those who smoke more of 30 cigarettes / day);
- In general, women tend to smoke more because of the "sedation" component and less because of the "stimulation" component. The component of sedation is the association of smoking behavior with negative moods (sadness, anxiety, loneliness, uncertainty, ...)
• 3. BODY WEIGHT FACTOR
The aesthetic expectations that each person imposes with greater or lesser social pressure are generally different between the sexes. It has also become the perception of the consequences that come from none. However, the most important factor that underlies the current increase in tobacco consumption is body stress. part of the western woman.
