Suppose we know that women smoke less than men because they have less socio-economic power, then we know that as their socio-economic power increases their smoking will increase, then we know they are an emerging market for tobaco companies, then we know to pre-empt their marketting activities, then we know to pay more attention to preventing teenage/school girls from taking up smoking, etc. Anyway, you "so what" question applies to your any genetic answer that you can come up with too.
