最近的报告表明，女性在戒烟方面不如男性成功。1984年初，从明尼苏达州10个不同工作场所的雇员中随机抽取447名吸烟者，对戒烟态度的性别差异进行了横断面研究。在过去至少尝试过一次戒烟的吸烟者的百分比中没有发现性别差异;事实上，超过五分之四的受访者报告了先前的戒烟尝试。然而，与女性相比，男性对戒烟更感兴趣。与男性相比，女性更不可能意识到戒烟对健康的好处，并表示更关注与戒烟有关的体重增加和工作压力。没有显着的性别差异，发现在以前使用的正式戒烟服务，这已经使用了约四分之一的受访者。然而，与男性相比，女性似乎依赖于非正式的支持来源，如同事的鼓励。这些研究结果强调了针对妇女的干预方案的重要性，并提出了可能提高针对妇女的此类方案的有效性的战略。
Recent reports indicate that women are less successful than men in their attempts to quit smoking. Sex differences in attitudes toward smoking cessation were examined cross-sectionally in a sample of 447 smokers randomly selected from employees of 10 diverse Minnesota worksites and interviewed in early 1984. No sex differences were found in the percentage of smokers who had tried to quit at least once in the past; indeed, over four of five respondents reported prior attempts to quit. Yet compared to women, men were more interested in quitting. Women were less likely than men to perceive the health benefits of quitting and expressed more concern about weight gain and job pressures related to quitting. No significant sex differences were found in prior use of formal cessation services, which had been used by about one-fourth of these respondents. Yet compared to men, women appeared to rely on informal sources of support, such as encouragement from co-workers. These findings underline the importance of intervention programs targeting women and suggest strategies that might enhance the effectiveness of such programs oriented toward women.
