Why women struggle with smoking?

[Qubrliem]

Why is it harder for women to quit smoking? I havenoticed in so many cases, that men seem to have a much easier timequitting smoking, and women really struggle with that. I smoke fromtime to time, so this is a very interesting question for me, becauseI want to know the best way to quit smoking.

I would say that most probably this has to do with the hormonal instability that women have to go through all the time - it does not allow to have a stable environment in the body, hence it is harder to quit smoking, because when you try to quit smoking, you bring even more instability.

Can't say as I have noticed it being an issue either way. Sounds like an excuse to me.

 

[stevesmi]

that isn't true at all

if anything I would think it would be the opposite. men have a harder time quitting addictions.

 

[Qubrliem]

No, seriously, all men I know they have an easy time quitting smoking or drinking, but all the girls I know, they just can not stop it. I assumed that there might be some explanation for this.

I think you're wrong. In the days of equality to use their sex as an excuse for having a hard time with giving up smoking... pfft.

I think it is likely just the people you are around. I have not noticed this with people I know.
