Description
Explores the many special issues that surround the impact of tobacco use on the health and well-being of women. Concentrates on the gender-specific factors that help explain why girls and women smoke and how tobacco damages their health. Covers all dimensions of the problem, ranging from conditions in developing countries that deter female smoking to the reasons why women may find it more difficult to quit than men. The impact of the tobacco industry's efforts to recruit female smokers is also considered.
