It makes an important contribution to the scientific understanding of tobacco use among women. Also provides an analytical framework for promoting a gender perspective in policy-making. Helps to assess the current situation, identifies gaps in research and offers solutions that must be heeded to prevent an epidemic of the gravest order. Topics covered include determinants of starting to use tobacco, exposure to second-hand smoke, the impact of tobacco use on health, the nature of addiction and cessation, and treatment programs, as well as policy issues involving economic and tax measures, gender analyses and human rights.
