Description

Smoking can help form and maintain identity, often in keeping with oppressive cultural images of women. Smoking can make women compliant and unhealthy, but tobacco industries continue to expand female markets across the world. Smoke Screen looks at the range of ways in which tobacco affects women; the evolution of cultural pressures on women's smoking; the meanings of smoking to women; the uses of smoking for women; the benefits for societies of keeping women smoking; and the impact of health and tobacco policy on women's smoking prevention and cessation.
