WOMEN AND THE CHANGING CIGARETTE As this report documents, the proportion of men and women smokers using brands with lowered "tar" and nicotine continues to grow. Adolescents of both sexes have followed this trend~, to the point where nonfilter cigarettes are relatively rare among young adults. Although the preponderance of scientific evidence continues to suggest that cigarettes with lower "tar" and nicotine are less hazardous, four seriouss warnings are In order. First, the reported "tareand nicotine deliveries of cioarettes are standardized machine measurements. They do not necessarily represent the sm oker's actual intake of these substances. Evidence is now mounting that individuals who switch to cigarettes with lowered "tar" and nicotine inhale more deeply, smoke a greater proportion of their cigarettes, and inn some cases smoke more cigarettes. ' Second, "tar" and nicotine are not the only dangerous chemical components of cigarette smoke. Many conventional filter cigarettes, in fact, may deliver more carbon monoxide than nonfilter cigarettes. Third, it has not been established that lower "tar"and nicotine cigarettes have less harmful effects on the unborn fetus and baby; on women and men at high risk for developing coronary heart disease, suchh as those with elevated cholesterol or high blood pressure; or on workers with adverse occupational exposures. It has not beenn established that switching to a lower "tar" and nicotine cigarette has any salutory effect on individuals who already have sm oking- relatedillnesses, such as coronary heart disease, chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Fourth, even the lowest yield cigarettes present health hazards for both. women and men that are very much higher than smoking no cigarettes at all. The single most effective way for both women and men smokers to reduce the hazards associated with cigarettes is to quit smoking. As this report demonstrates,li6tle is known about thee effects of these product changes on the initiation, maintenance and, cessation of sT oking, particularly among women. It has not been determined whether the availability of cigarettes with lowered "tar" and nicotine has made it easier for young womenn to experiment with and becomee addicted tocigarette.s. It is not known whether smokers of vii

1965 toan estimated 3,900 in 1979. From 1965 to 1979, the proportion of adult male cigarette smokers declined from 51 to 37' percent. Not only have millions of men quit smoking,., but the rate of initiatiom of smoking among adolescent males has now slowed. . From 1965 to1976, the proportion of adult women cigarette smokers rem ained virtually unchanged at 32 to 33 percent. Since 1976, however, the proportion of adult women cigarette smokers appears to have declined to 28 percent. Although adult women are now beginning to quit sm oking at rates comparable to adult men, the rate of initiation of smokingamong younger womenn has not declined. This report documentss numerous differences by sex in the perceived role of cigarette smoking, in attitudes to ward health and lifestyle, and in methods of coping with stress, anger, and boredom.. Yet thee significance of these differences, and their relation todiEferences in smoking patterns, remains poorly understood. . Although it is freqpently observed that women in organized smoking cessat'iomn programs have more severe withdrawal symptoms and lower rates of successful quitting than men, these observations have not been systematically confirmed for the general population. In the past, women may have attempted' to quit or succeededin quitting, smoking less frequently than men. The recent decline in the propor- tion off women smokers, however, suggests that women's attempted and successful quitting rates have now increased. Althoughh weight gain is a frequently cited consequence of quitting smoking, the association of weight gain with cessation of smoking has not been the subject of sufficient scrutiny. Controlled studies with careful measurement on representative populations of women do not exist. The impact of the fear of weightt gain after quitting has not been ade- quatelyexamined. If weight gainn does result from cessation of smoking, its exact mechanism must bedetermihed. Even more problematic are marked differences by sex in the distribution of smoking prevalence by occupation. Men with advanced education and professional occupations have taken the lead io-quitt'ing snoking, but women in administrative and managerial positions have relatively high smoking prevalence rates. Although 20 percent or fe wer male physicians smoke, the proportions of cigarette smokers among women health professionals, especially nurses and psychologists, remain disturbinglyhioh. Recent changes in smoking prevalence among black V

the newborn baby. These damaging effects have been repeatedly shown to operate independently of all other factors whichh influence the outcome of pregnancy. The effects are increased by heavier smoking and are reduced if a womann stops smoking during pregnancy. Numerous toxic substances in cigarette smoke, such as nicotine and hydrogen cyanide, cross the placenta to affect the fetus directly. The carbon monoxide from cigarette smoke is transported into the fetal blood and deprives the growing baby of oxygen. Fetal growth Is directly retarded. The resulting reduction in fetal weight and size has many unfortunate consequences. Women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy have more spontaneous abortions, and a greater incidence of bleeding during pregnancy, premature and', prolonged, rupture of amniotic membranes, abruptio placentae and placenta previa. Women who smoke cigarettes during pregnancy have more fetal and neonatall deaths than nonsmoking pregnant women. A relation between maternal smoking and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome hass now been established. The direct harmful effects of smoking on the fetus have long term consequences. Children of mothers who smoked during pregnancy lag measurably in physical growth; there may also be effects on behavior and cognitive developm ena. The extent of these deficiencies increases with, the number of cigarettes smoked. Thedamagingeffectse of maternal sm oking on infants are not restricted topregnancy. Nicotine, a knowm, poison, is found in the breast milk of smoking mothers. Childremn whose parents sm oke cigarettes have more respiratory Infections and more hospitalizations in the first year of life. Women who smoke cigarettes have more than three times the risk of dying of stroke due to subarachnoidd hemorrhage, and as much as two times the risk of dying of heart attack in comparison to nonsmoking women. The use of oral contraceptives in addition to smoking, however, causes a markedly increased risk,, including a 22-fold increase in the risk of subarachnoid hemorrhagic stroke and a20-fodd' increase in heart attack in heavy smokers. WHY DO WO'4EN SrtOKE? Cigarette consumption in this country is now declining. Annual per capita consumption has decreasedfrom 4,258 in iv
