该论文回顾了 1950 年至 1990 年间欧洲共同体 (EC) 妇女吸烟的趋势。数据表明，欧洲共同体国家在看似共同的流行曲线上占据了不同的点。欧共体南部国家处于该曲线的早期阶段，其特点是患病率急剧上升。在欧共体北部国家，女性吸烟率似乎已达到顶峰。在整个欧共体，烟草使用的商品化，特别是人造卷烟的生产和促销，是这一流行曲线的基础。在北欧和南欧，社会经济地位较高群体的年轻女性率先吸烟，吸烟率首先下降的是在教育、职业和收入方面享有特权的女性。由于在处境更为不利的妇女中吸烟率尚未出现下降，因此欧共体妇女吸烟很可能成为一种与社会经济地位低下越来越相关的习惯。版权所有 (C) 1996 爱思唯尔科学有限公司
The paper reviews trends in tobacco use among women in the European Community (EC) between 1950 and 1990. The data suggest that EC countries occupy different points on what appears to be a common prevalence curve. Southern EC countries are represented in the early phases of this curve, marked out by sharply rising prevalence. In northern EC countries, female smoking prevalence appears to have peaked. Across the EC, the commodification of tobacco use, and the production and promotion of manufactured cigarettes in particular, underlies this prevalence curve. Young women in higher socio-economic groups have led the way into cigarette smoking in both northern and southern Europe, with smoking prevalence declining first among women who are privileged in terms of their education, occupation and income. Because the decline in prevalence has yet to be repeated among women in more disadvantaged circumstances, cigarette smoking among women in the EC is likely to become a habit increasingly linked to low socio-economic status.
