Gender Differences in Cigarette Smoking and Quitting in a Cohort of Young Adults.

Pirie, Phyllis L.; And Others

American Journal of Public Health, v81 n3 p324-27 Mar 1991

More women than men currently smoke, but quitting attempts are equally common. Programs addressing issues of concern to young women smokers are needed. (AF)
