title: [Why do women still smoke while men quit?].
abstract: Norwegian men have reduced their rates of daily smoking, while the overall rate of smoking among women has remained unchanged for the last 15 years. The prevalence of smoking among adolescent girls has declined. Highly educated women are less likely to smoke, compared with women with lower education. Some groups of Norwegian women, however, are maintaining their smoking habits. We discuss possible explanations of the remaining high rates of smoking among women, and suggest strategies to improve the smoking cessation rate among women.
