What factors account for sex differences in health? (continued)
(b) Smoking
Smoking rates have decreased over the last several decades. Today, 21.4% of Canadians smoke
(Statistics Canada, 2009).

Males (24.3%) are more likely to smoke than females (18.5%), which may contribute to the higher mortality rate among males. However, the sex gap in smoking rates is decreasing:

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among males and females (Statistics Canada, 2006):
Females who smoke are at greater risk for developing lung cancer than males who smoke (odds ratio of developing lung cancer = 1.2 – 1.7; Ernster, 1996; Shriver et al., 2000).

Lung and Breast Cancer Mortality Rates, 1979 to 2001 (Statistics Canada, 2006)
The sex difference in mortality due to lung cancer is narrowing: Over the last several decades, there has been a greater decline in smoking initiation among males than females and a higher quit rate among males than females.

Intervention studies have shown that males are more successful at quitting smoking than females (Bjornson et al., 1995; Wetter et al., 1999).
