NSW
Population Health Survey 2006: NSW daily smoking rate
hits record low of 13.9%. Add on occasional smokers, and the rate
is 17.7%. Women smoke more than men? Wrong.15%
of men smoke daily, compared to 12.9% of women. Young women smoking
more? Wrong again. The peak smoking age group for women is 35-44
years (17.7%) and for men 25-34 years (21.6%)
But the most disadvantaged socioeconomic group
of women (smoking prevalence 26%) are more than twice
as likely to be smoking as the least disadvantaged group (10.2%).
However, interestingly, only 19.8% of the most disadvantaged women
smoke daily, suggesting that
price may cutting their frequency of use. |
