Anh Tua^'n, By "the effect of nicotine on men and women is the same (?)", I meant the effect on the nervous system is the same so that the pleasure/stimulation/ addiction effects are the same (?). Other effects such as those on lung cancer/heart disease/bone are not relevant to the question why men smoke more than women. Eg even if smoking affect women's bone more than men's, I doubt that it can be a reason for men smoking more than women. After WW2, men an women didn't know that smoking is associated with bone problems, but men still smoked more than women. I think to answer the question of whether men are geneticly more predisposed to tobaco addiction than women is beyond the scope of anh Hoanh's research. Huy
