全球男性烟草使用率已达到顶峰并正在缓慢下降，而女性烟草使用率却在稳步上升，引发了有关性别、公平和健康的重要问题。这种流行病的焦点将集中在低收入和中等收入国家，这些国家的妇女也越来越多地参与烟草的生产和制造，并成为烟草营销的目标。随着烟草流行在 21 世纪的发展，影响女孩和妇女的烟草使用和生产的增加不仅威胁到她们的身心健康，而且威胁到她们的经济和社会进步。本文探讨了烟草的使用和生产将如何影响妇女的地位及其在性别和健康公平方面的进展。提出了几种应对这一问题的策略，并且认为烟草控制运动有责任在其目标和实践中采用基于性别和公平的原则。
Global rates of tobacco use among men have peaked and are slowly declining, while rates among women are steadily increasing, raising important questions about gender, equity and health. The focus of this epidemic will be in low and middle income countries where women are also increasingly involved in the production and manufacturing of tobacco as well as being targeted by tobacco marketing. As the tobacco epidemic evolves in the 21(st) Century, increasing tobacco use and production affecting girls and women threaten to undermine not only their physical and mental health, but also their economic and social progress. This article explores how tobacco use and production will affect the status of women and their progress towards gender and health equity. Several strategies for responding to this are suggested, and it is argued that the tobacco control movement has a responsibility to adopt gender and equity based principles in its goals and practices.
