Have you come a long way, baby? Smoking trends in women

C M Lipsitz. Md Med J. 1993 Jan.

Abstract

The relative risks of smoking-related diseases are increasing for women as the ratio of men smokers to women smokers closes. In addition, recognition of smoking as a women's health risk has increased because of its adverse effects in pregnancy; its interaction with oral contraceptives; and its association with cancer of the uterine cervix, earlier menopause, and osteoporosis.
