アメリカのテキサス州、エルパッソという町で行われた心理学の研究論文です。
女性の方が男性より、不安症状からたばこ依存になることが多いと結論つけています。アルコールに依存しないために、たばこに依存を求める場合も男性より多いと書かれてあります。つまり女性がたばこを吸う場合は男性より、吸わなければいられない事情があるということでしょうが、テキサス州のある町での研究ですので、全世界の女性が全部そうだとは限りません。でも女性がたばこを吸える社会になったのは、日本もごく最近ではないでしょうか。それまで女性はたばこを吸わないのが常識というような感じではなかったでしょうか。さらにご関心がある方はProg Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry. 2016 Feb 4;65:260-8. doi:10.1016/j.pnpbp.2015.04.005.

Tobacco use is a major economic and health problem. It is particularly concerning
that women consume more tobacco products, have a more difficult time quitting
smoking, and are less likely to benefit from smoking cessation therapy than men.
As a result, women are at higher risk of developing tobacco-related diseases.
Clinical evidence suggests that women are more susceptible to anxiety disorders,
and are more likely to smoke in order to cope with stress than men. During
smoking abstinence, women experience more intense anxiety than men and report
that the anxiety-reducing effects of smoking are the main reason for their
continued tobacco use and relapse. Consistent with this, pre-clinical studies
using rodent models suggest that females display more intense stress during
nicotine withdrawal than males. This review posits that in women, stress is a
principal factor that promotes the initiation of tobacco use and relapse behavior
during abstinence. Studies are reviewed at both the clinical and pre-clinical
levels to provide support for our hypothesis that stress plays a central role in
promoting tobacco use vulnerability in females. The clinical implications of this
work are also considered with regard to treatment approaches and the need for
more research to help reduce health disparities produced by tobacco use in women.
