Women are more
susceptible to the health effects of smoking. Women who smoke may develop
severe lung disease at younger ages with lower amounts of smoking. That's
according to a new study. Researchers in Norway compared 954 patients
with chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder to 295 control subjects. They
found that women with COPD were, on average, younger than men who had smoked
for fewer years suggesting that women may experience lung damage with overall
lower levels of smoking.
