Young women more likely to be 'very light' smokers, say researchers

Posted: 19 Jul 2015 08:55 AM PDT

While overall smoking levels in the United States are down, "very light" smoking has increased, especially among young women, a new study found. Very light smokers – those who report smoking five or fewer cigarettes a day – made up about a fifth of the study's sample of more than 9,700 women aged 18 to 25 and were most likely to be between the ages of 18 and 20, to have some college education, and to be from a minority group. The study reported that very light smokers were more aware of the risks of nicotine and less likely to report dependence than heavy smokers, and recommended the group as a target for prevention efforts.
