Among them, urban women smoking rate is 30 times higher than in rural areas! “This is related to social activities, the pursuit of fashion sense, work pressure, colleagues or playmates love to smoke, and other factors, and women smoking on their own and their children’s health are very big impact.” Male smoking rate 70%, urban female smoking rate 12% According to the data, the smoking rate among Chinese men (including those who have smoked and those who still smoke) is close to 70%. Of these, men who have quit smoking and those who are still smoking account for about half each. The smoking rate among urban women is 12%, which is 30 times higher than the 0.4% rate among rural women! The increase in smoking rates among women is due to the fact that the more socially engaged women are, the more fashionable they are, the more stressful their jobs are, and the more smokers there are in their immediate group, the more likely they are to smoke themselves. If a woman inhales more secondhand smoke or even smokes herself before or during pregnancy, her fetus will be born with a much higher chance of asthma than a normal child. In addition, if a child with asthma continues to stay in a smoky home environment, there will be many more flare-ups and exacerbations of the disease later in life. If the child’s family continues to smoke, the child’s medication is often less effective in controlling the disease.
