SOCIAL GROUPS TO SMOKE
Of course, advertising and high-powered public relations campaigns don’t act on all of us equally. If they did, we would all be smokers. Other social pressures and our own psychological needs influence us as well, making some findings about the role of peer pressure and other social pressure in smoking;
• Smokers tend to have mates who smoke. One study found, for example, that among young women smokers, 68% had boyfriend or husbands who smoke.
• Blue- collar men have the highest smoking rates of all the social class/sex categories. Among women workers, how ever , it is the white collar woman who high rates; more of them smoke than blue collar woman workers
• Although smoking among teenagers in general has decreased recently, smoking among teenage girls has increased. Recent survey data on adolescents smoking habits reveal that by ages seventeen to nineteen, smoking is more prevalent among females than among males.
It’s risky to make broad generalizations about the meaning of these statistics, but they do underscore;
1. How importance some blue collar men may feel it is to maintain although, macho image
2. How rapidly women’s behavior and self-image are changing in our society (this last may be reflected in the change in teenage girls’ smoking, too)
