The number of women smokers, especially women who are aged 45 to 65, has risen in the last decade

or two. Anti-smoking groups blame it on the failure to increase tobacco prices. But, can low prices alone

be the reason for women, or even men, to smoke?

There are other reasons as well as to why women smoke. According to Health Canada, most women

smoke to relax and take a break. Some smoke to deal with stress and depression while others are

believed to be fighting feelings of helplessness or dealing with anger and frustration through tobacco

use.

Data from the Institut National de Prévention et d'Education pour la Santé (Inpes) showed that 50

percent of the unemployed took to smoking.

A Thai study on the association of tobacco and alcohol use with socio-economic factors indicated

alcohol misuse to be the strongest predictor of smoking. The researchers also found that smoking and

tobacco use is inversely related to education and family income. Lesser the education and lower the

income, higher the rate of smoking.

Similar results were obtained by Indian studies where the researchers concluded that the greatest

tobacco consumption is observed among illiterate and less educated people. They also found that

smoking significantly correlated with prevalence of coronary heart disease and high blood pressure.

Tobacco companies are also responsible to some extent in encouraging girls and women to smoke.

According to the WHO, Lady represent the largest potential market for tobacco companies. Cigarette

manufacturers created cigarette brands which they promoted as mild and low in tar. Tobacco

advertisements themed their products around women’s independence, stress relief, and even losing

weight. Which woman can resist that!
