Why Is Smoking More Harmful for Women

Why Is Smoking More Harmful for Women?

• A recent study conducted by Rachel Huxley of the
  University of Minnesota, published in The Lancet
  Medical Journal, revealed that even though women
  tend to smoke fewer cigarettes than their male
  counterparts, they are at a 25 greater risk of
  smoking related health conditions. Biologically,
  women are more vulnerable to the hazards of
  active and passive smoking. Let's look at the
  reasons behind this phenomenon

Pregnant women and smoking

• Smoking a cigarette is like smoking a cocktail of
  drugs and poisons, which are extremely harmful
  for the unborn baby. It reduces the oxygen in the
  body, and increases the risk of miscarriages.
  Smoking like a chimney can also reduce pregnant
  women's chances of getting pregnant again. It can
  increase the risk of birth defects in babies or
  the babies are three times more likely to be
  still born or die within the first week if born
  to smokers.

Infertility and Smoking

• Medical experts suggest that smoking can have an
  adverse impact on fertility in women. When
  compared to non-smokers, smoking women are 30
  more likely to take time in conceiving a child.
  As a matter of fact, active smoking by either of
  the partners in the relationship is more harmful
  for the unborn baby, when compared to passive
  smoking.

Breast Cancer and Smoking

• A study conducted by Stephanie Land of the
  University of Pittsburgh's Graduate School of
  Public Health on 13,388 women revealed that
  smoking women are at a higher risk of breast
  cancer when compared to their non-smoking
  counterparts. The study found that women who
  smoked for at least 35 years had a 59 higher
  risk of breast cancer, whereas those who smoked
  for less than 15 years had no increased risk for
  breast cancer.

Heart Diseases and Smoking

• According to a study from the University of
  Minnesota and Johns Hopkins University because of
  gender-based biologic differences between men and
  women, women who smoke are 25 more likely to
  develop potentially fatal diseases such as heart
  disease. The study suggests that, "Women may
  extract more carcinogens, or cancer-causing
  substances, and toxins from each cigarette
  compared to men." But the good news here is that
  women who plan to quit smoking can slash their
  risk of coronary heart disease by half within the
  first year.

Other Health Risks for Women

• Apart from risks of infertility and breast
  cancer, smoking can also lead to lung cancer in
  women. One of the major causes of respiratory
  problems, smoking can lead to plaque build up or
  clots in the blood vessels of the legs
  (peripheral artery disease). Smoking women are
  also at a greater risk of osteoporosis. It is
  also linked with going through menopause at an
  early age when compared to non-smokers.

Is light Smoking also Harmful for Women?

• Yes, even light smoking is harmful for women as
  it poses a host of health problems. It is
  believed that as few as 1 to 4 cigarettes a day
  can increase your risk of suffering from a heart
  attack or in some unfortunate cases, dying from
  heart disease.
