Cigarette advertising is often aimed at men than women. But that does not mean the number of female smokers around the world are not significant. In fact, about 20 percent
than one billion smokers in the world are women.

In Indonesia alone, according to the Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health, Ministry of Health, the percentage of male smokers as much as 65.9% and 4.5% of women.

Harmful additives in it make smokers susceptible to various diseases. Such as heart, lung cancer and stroke.

This has encouraged some smokers to stop this unhealthy habit. In the case of smoking cessation, gender was very instrumental, as compared to men, women proved more difficult to quit smoking.

That's according to research conducted by a team of "The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence" and "UK Centre for Tobacco Control Studies". Researchers believe that women find it more difficult to stop the habit because self-confidence to quit is very low. Tobacco also plays a distinct role in the lives of men and women.

Although many women quit when pregnant, they will start smoking again after their son was born. This study found that women have a higher intention to quit than men. However, the possibility of successful stops, lower than men.

This conclusion is obtained by looking at the results of studies from 1990 to 2007 from the National Health Services. "Gender, ethnicity, age, level of dependence strongly influence success in quitting smoking," said a spokesman for the researchers was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

The study also found that active smokers quit a long time can be more easily compared to novice smokers.
