研究背景
雖然世界各國正展開一連串的菸害防制運動，開發中國家的吸菸人數卻持續
上升，其中最令人擔憂的是女性吸菸者的增長。因此，本研究以女性為主軸，分析女性吸菸行為之社會脈絡，希望透過本研究，提醒有關單位重視女性吸菸的議題，以制定更具性別觀點的政策來預防女性吸菸人口持續增加。
研究目的
本研究主要探討女性所處之社會結構(如：社經地位、工作型態)、習癖(如：
態度或職場文化)與其吸菸行為的相關性；並進一步分析女性所處之社會結構透過中介因素，如：習癖、職場文化，如何影響女性吸菸行為。
材料與研究方法
本研究採用衛生署國民健康局2002 年國民健康促進知識、態度與行為調查資
料庫進行橫斷性資料分析：以卡方檢定進行變項之間的相關性檢定，有顯著變項再進行單變項分析，了解變項之間的相關強度；接著針對吸菸狀態進行多變項邏輯斯迴歸分析，了解社會結構因素、知識、態度、職場文化與女性吸菸狀態的相關性。
研究結果
本研究發現，在控制知識、態度、職場文化之下，以收入等級所代表的社經
地位預測吸菸行為，顯示高社經地位(月平均收入80000 元以上)預測女性吸菸行為強度最大(OR=5.21，95%CI=1.19~22.89)；個人服務業之行業別、及服務業與操作工作的職業別與女性吸菸行為有顯著相關(OR=2.00，95%CI=1.09~3.68；OR=5.59，95%CI=1.64~19；OR=4.48，95%CI=1.27~15.82)；人口學變項以25-34歲族群、離婚或分居之婚姻狀態預測吸菸強度最大；另外，未婚之婚姻狀態預測吸菸強度也顯著增加，顯示未婚狀態與女性吸菸行為顯著相關。

Background：While the world has launched a tobacco control movement, the number of smokers in developing countries has continued to rise, one of the most worrying is

Result：The study found that in the control knowledge, attitudes, workplace culture,under the level of income represented by socioeconomic status, indicating a high
socio-economic status (average monthly income of 80,000 or more) predicted the greatest strength of women's smoking behavior. (odds ratio(OR):5.21,95%confidence
interval(CI):1.19~22.89) Personal services sector, and service and operational work were significantly related to women's smoking behavior. (OR:2.00, 95% CI :1.09~3.68；OR :5.59,95%CI :1.64~19；OR :4.48,95%CI :1.27~15.82)
