吸烟被认为是多种癌症的致病因素。然而，吸烟在宫颈癌中的作用是有争议的，部分原因是吸烟的妇女可能有宫颈癌的其他危险因素，特别是HPV感染。我们回顾了美国和其他73个国家的吸烟率、宫颈癌和肺癌发病率以及人均国内生产总值（GDP）。在发展中国家，吸烟可能在宫颈癌中扮演重要角色，但在其他国家则不那么重要。
Cigarette smoking is considered a causative factor in a variety of cancers. However, the role of smoking in cervical cancer is disputed, in part because women who smoke may have other risk factors for cervical cancer, particularly HPV infection. We reviewed cigarette smoking prevalence, cervical and lung cancer incidence, and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the US and 73 other countries. It appears that smoking may play a prominent role in cervical cancer in developing countries, but less of a role in other countries.
