Description

This is the 2nd report of the U.S. Surg. Gen. devoted to women and smoking. The first was pub. in 1980, 16 years after the initial landmark report on smoking and health appeared in 1964 which demonstrated that smoking was a cause of human cancer and other diseases. Most of the early evidence was based on men. By the time of the 1980 report, the evidence clearly showed that women were also experiencing devastating health consequences from smoking and that “the first signs of an epidemic of smoking-related disease among women are now appearing.” This report reviews the massive body of evidence on women and smoking -- evidence that compels us to make reducing and preventing smoking one of the highest priorities for women’s health.
