Article Abstract:

The prevalence of smoking among active duty military women is greater as compared to active duty military men and civilians of either sex. Based on questionnaires sent by 409 women who had served in military, it was found that 32.5% of them were current smokers and 67% of this category smoked at least one pack a day. More than one-third of the women started smoking while in the service. Nicotine dependence scores were high in twenty three percent of the current smokers.
