Women. Cigarettes. Lung cancer

Lung cancer is the most specific indicator of the effect of tobacco on health. If we monitor lung cancer between 35 and 44 years, we observe the effects of smoking the last twenty years.

It is the most sensitive indicator of change in population behavior. Like many men stopped smoking for thirty years, there has been a halving of cancers in 35-44.

Among older men, the decrease is much smaller, because even if they stopped, they may have smoked for fifty years. However, for women, there are four times more deaths than fifteen years ago.

Is this a trend? In women, it's pretty catastrophic. This shows that the system has a lot of inertia. We see the consequences of increased smoking in ten or twenty year women. When these women turn 60, it will be even worse.

What are the explanations? In the 50s and 60s, 75% of men smoked, all ages, while women smoked very little or not at all. At the time, it was not appropriate to smoke, now it has become the social norm.

Are women more vulnerable than men to tobacco? No. When women smoke like men, they die like men, neither more nor less. Traditionally, women are more attentive to their health, see the doctor more often, but tobacco is just a matter of fashion.

Women are afraid to take pounds, so they do not want to stop smoking. What do you recommend? It is urgent to rebuild a price increase effective on all products, including cigars and cigarillos. The price is a real lever, especially for young people. There has been no real increase since 2000s, except at the initiative of manufacturers.

More information on the dangers of tobacco is needed. People read a quantity of rubbish on the benefits of raspberries, broccoli, drinking water. The serious messages - do not smoke, drink less - drowned in its apocalyptic nonsense.
