Question:

Statistically and psychologically speaking, why do men smoke more tobacco than women?

In the US alone 44% of smokers are men, and about 22% are women. Could this have something to do with stress found more commonly in men than women? Why is this? Do women have it easier then man, and thus less driven to smoke and drink?


Answers:

It is mainly the power of the media. Most tobacco advertisements portray manly men and 'liberated' women.

If this shows anything it shows how we men are insecure about our manhood. We always need something to prove our manhood. And this thing to many men starts with the manly image of a smoker which eventually turns into addiction.

As for women, no matter how liberated they are, the image of a smoking woman lacks femininity. So the trap used to lure men into smoking fires back when it comes to the female consumer.

This I believe explains your argument.

Cheers.
