TOBACCO April 26, 2003 Presented By: Lisa M. Ryder Karen Lara

ANNUAL TOBACCO DEATHS Annual tobacco-related deaths exceed the number of deaths from alcohol, cocaine, heroine, homicide, suicide, car accidents, fire and AIDS combined. Cigarette smoking is responsible for approximately 430,000 American deaths each year.  This figure includes the 140,000 American women that die each year from cigarette smoking.

SMOKING AND EDUCATION Smoking rates among women with less than a high school education are three times more likely than those among college graduates.

SMOKING AND RACE Among adults in the United States, American Indian/Alaskan Natives have the highest prevalence of tobacco use. Asian Americans and Hispanic women have the lowest prevalence of tobacco use. Compared to their male counterparts, women have a lower prevalence for tobacco use. Though this is not true for American Indians/Alaskan Natives.

RATIONALIZATIONS OF WOMEN SMOKERS It can’t be as bad as they say. The government wouldn’t let them sell cigarettes if they were that harmful. I DON’T want to gain weight. I am too busy to eat, and smoking helps me to control my hunger. It is okay if I smoke because I eat well and exercise every day. I only smoke low tar cigarettes. I smoke for pleasure. Smoking is glamorous.
