More and More Women Are Switching to Cigars

Wednesday, April 16th, 2021

Jerica Lowder and Samantha Rees experimented with their first cigars after several Coronas – and some short smokes from their husbands, who were lighting up Cuban cigars at a party. At this point, the two women, light up about two or three cigars per month from their husbands’ stocks. “There is something calming,” Rees, 37, stated. “It is just a relaxing thing to do.”

They are currently among a modest, but already expanding number of women who are enjoying the habit of a cigar. Super stars like Angelina Jolie, Demi Moore, Claudia Schiffer and Heidi Klum have been known to smoke cigars. Producers are advertising such flavors as vanilla and cherry, and cigar bars and stores are developing experiences thinking about women.

Around 2 % of U.S. women state that they light up cigars, as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, however that is concerning 3.2 million women. There are all ranges of cigar-smoking women, from the ones who smoke on special events to the heave smokers. The latter would be Barbara Munchel, who says that she is a devoted cigar smoker. She doesn’t like the ones created especially for women. “For me, those are not cigars,” she mentioned. “The cherry, the vanilla, the chocolate flavored cigars. That is not cigar smoking. I like to drink my coffee and I also want my cigars to be genuine.”

Avanti, a leading cigar maker situated in Pennsylvania, is offering its brand new cafe mocha Estilo cigar in three-pack pockets “which women prefer to put in a purse or pocket,” stated company’s representative Elaine Ferri. Avanti is as well releasing a new range of attractive tips for their cigars in the coming month, along with other add-ons and fresh flavors. “Women are undoubtedly an expanding market in the cigar industry and they choose flavored and small cigars,” Ferri explained.

These advertising initiatives might even have a ripple impact on men. “Marketing experts keep in mind: Wonderful females – mainly well-known ones – have always had power over men, and in most cases they are strong enough to induce us change cigar brands,” David Martosko executive publisher, wrote lately. “And also let’s not fake here,” Martosko stated. “There is really something sexy about attractive women who smoke cigars.

Cigarette Manufacturers Aim at Teen Girls with Super Slim Cigarettes

Wednesday, January 9th, 2020


Cigarette manufacturers have been charged of using cynical advertising tricks to aim at girls and young women. In the latest effort to appeal to smokers, Silk Cut is introducing a collection of super slim cigarettes in packages that looks like perfume boxes. This action comes after identical strategies in America where women are attracted with female-friendly packaging, often displaying pink colours and floral images.

Giant cigarette companies in the U.S. have been blamed for presumably appealing women by means of movies. For instance, in 2006, the actress Scarlett Johansson was charged of advertising smoking with her role in Hollywood thriller The Black Dahlia.

The organization on Smoking and Health declared Silk Cut’s use of the words ‘super-slim‘ was an endeavor to produce a link between cigarettes and weight loss in the minds of young girls trying to stay slim.
Martin Dockerell, of Action on Smoking and Health, declared: ‘This has been realized effectively in the States for many years and it’s a comparatively fresh development in the UK.

‘In the States there has been a rather extended tradition of products advertised at women, especially young women, with packages that are in some way more female-friendly. ‘In the UK, the unique legal advertisement left is on the package, so producers are eager to obtain new smokers by means of attractive designs of the cigarette packages.’ He declared: ‘Packaging is really essential marketing tool and by modifying the pack up can boost your market share. They also know that smokers are extremely vulnerable to the packaging and the brand identity.’

Silk Cut’s new super slim cigarettes are slimmer than regular ones and come in a more compact package.
Gallaher, the Japanese cigarette company that produces Silk Cut, identifies its new brand, as delivering luxury and quality to the super-slim cigarette segment. Recently, a representative for the company rejected that it was |concentrating on teenage girls. “It is unlawful to sell cigarettes to anyone under the age of 18 and do not forget about this fact,” he stated.

Researches have demonstrated that teenage girls who are worried about their weight are more inclined to start smoking. Under the age of 15 girls are more likely to light up than boys of the same age.

Cigarette manufacturers have tried to link smoking with slimness and glamour for many years. For inst6ance, in the 1920s, diverse cigarettes advertisements advised women to “Reach for a Lucky instead of a sweet”. In America, the famous Virginia brand plans to introduce a sleek pink purse pack targeted at women.

Women Harder to Quit Smoking

Wednesday, April 4th, 2019

Women tend to find it harder to quit smoking than men, and a new study suggests why — women’s brains respond differently to nicotine, the researchers say. When a person smokes, the number of nicotine receptors in the brain — which bind to nicotine and reinforce the habit of smoking — are thought to increase in number. The study found in men, this is true — male smokers had a greater number of nicotine receptors compared to male nonsmokers. But surprisingly, women smokers had about the same number of nicotine receptors as nonsmokers.

“When you look at it by gender, you see this big difference,” said study researcher Kelly Cosgrove, an assistant professor of psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine.

The findings are important because the main treatments for people who want to quit smoking are nicotine-replacement therapies, such as nicotine patches and gums. The study suggests women smokers may benefit more from other types of treatment that don’t involve nicotine, including behavioral therapies, such as exercise or relaxation techniques, and non-nicotine containing medications, Cosgrove said.

Elements of smoking not related to nicotine, such as the smell and act of holding a cigarette, may play a greater role in fueling the habit of women smokers, compared with men, Cosgrove said.

Addiction to Cigarettes, Women Smokers

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2018

More WA women are contracting lung cancer as experts warn of a significant rise in new cases of the disease, which kills about 320 women every year in the State.

Lung cancer remains the deadliest cancer among men and women aged under 75 and new figures published yesterday show 803 deaths and 976 new lung cancer cases in WA in 2009.

The WA Cancer Registry’s report reveals that while there had been a steady decline in lung cancer among men in recent years, new cases among WA women were increasing more than 4 per cent a year.

The report also projected the number of all cancer cases would rise almost 50 per cent in WA over this decade, from 10,805 in 2009 to 15,421 in 2020.

Report author Tim Threlfall said that despite anti-smoking campaigns, a decline in smoking Virginia cigarettes and a drop in male lung cancer, more women were getting the disease.

“It’s still less common than in males but to some extent that is because heavy smoking is less common in females,” he said. “It certainly is a concern, but it’s an ongoing concern and just a sign of an ongoing problem.

“Maybe because it’s more historically a male issue, women haven’t thought too seriously about it.”

The report shows the number of all cancer cases and cancer deaths increased in 2009 from the previous year. Men got the disease more than women, developing 58 per cent of cancers in WA in 2009.

Almost 400 women were diagnosed with lung cancer in WA in 2009, 1313 were diagnosed with breast cancer, 545 with bowel cancer and 400 with melanoma.

Lung cancer killed 483 WA men in 2009, prostate cancer led to the deaths of 255 and bowel cancer killed 228. The rise in prostate cancer cases continued with the diagnosis of 2030 new cases in 2009, a 5.4 per cent increase.

Lung cancer generally has a poor prognosis and current trends of new cases reflect smoking behaviour 20 to 30 years ago.

Susan Rooney, from the Cancer Council of WA, said it was difficult to pinpoint why more women were being diagnosed with lung cancer but it was hoped that falling smoking rates would lead to fewer lung cancer cases.

“It’s probably that lag effect. More men used to smoke, then women did and that’s started to catch up with them,” she said.

The report found skin cancer was still a significant risk for people aged 15 to 39. Melanoma was the third most common new cancer among men and women in 2009, with 643 men and 400 women diagnosed with the disease
