Surgeon General's report on Women and Smoking African-American Women and Smoking

What you are studying right now,is the results of an overall research on smoking and its effect on American women from different races and ages , from girlhood to adolescents.
What is attractive in this research is the condition of black women who are under focus. It has been carried out during 20th century, ranged from 1920s to the late1990s.Blak women smoking prevalence was intermediate in comparison with Indian and Alaska Native women who were in highest among others.Smoking of the black women increased from 1965 through 1985 that it may be a sign of civil rights on blacks or increasing their social status because smoking is a funny act. White women were heavy smokers ( 14 percent) than black women who were ( 4.5 percent) or Hispanic women ( 2.1 percent) . I think black women , in this case, were more affected by surgeon's warning against smoking or they may be more family-lovers than others.
The survey (1978-80),also, showed the three most popular brands for black women were Kool (24 percent) Salem (19 percent) and Winston (10 percent). This may refers to their sensitivity on the special properties of nicotine because some of them produce more dependency. It may be because of the blacks women's deep inhaling. The blacks , usually, are more powerful in physical acts than other groups.
Among girls, also , whites were more attracted to smoking .One of the factors was considered by researchers was the effect of sibling in which black girls showed themselves as less affected by their sibling or other family members in smoking than whites,Hispanic or Indians . It may show the blacks' more self-relience than others.
Smoking prevalence during pregnancy, also,differs among different races and ethnic groups. More quitting smoking occurred among black pregnant women (from 17.2 percent in 1989 to 9.6 percent in 1998) than whites, but , unfortunately, trlapsing among black women was also more than whites after childbirth. They quitted smoking because of its harmful to embryo and fetus. It may refer to their strong motherhood feeling but relapsing may be for influence of nicotine or their lack of knowledge about effect of smoking on born child like during pregnancy.
About some diseases are cause by smoking , there is no differencebetween races and ethnic groups, but according to hospital-based study, the probability for lung cancer were higher among black women.
In general, the African-American women are interested in quitting smoking more than others by 79 percent but they are behind of black men in this case.
I think it should not be considered any rogue against blacks in this research because it is a medicalresearch and it ay not have relation with political issues or white supremacy.If you compare this report with my p[revious report about effects of Alcoholism on blacks , you will see no difference and they may be not considered as a hypocrisy and unusual.
