“…Our finding that men are less likely to engage in smoking cessation contrasts with prior studies reporting smoking cessation as more challenging for women (17,18). Population studies generally show similar cessation rates for men and women (3).…”

“…The present study is among the first to examine differences in specific types of intensive smoking cessation therapies when delivered in conjunction with pharmacotherapy. We hypothesized that coping skills training via CBT would equip smokers with strategies for managing stress, negative affect, and lapses, all of which appear to present special challenges to women smokers (McKee, Maciejewski, Falba, & Mazure, 2003;Reynoso, Susabda, Cepeda-Benito, 2005). That this form of therapy appeared to improve cessation rates in women receiving bupropion is consistent with our hypothesis but not easy to interpret in the context of cessation rates observed in women receiving placebo, who tended to do worse with CBT.…”

Gender data for bupropion suggest that it may be a particularly effective smoking cessation medication for women. It is not known whether the efficacy of this pharmacotherapy differs as a function of the psychotherapy with which it is administered. This study used a two level factorial design to examine the independent and interactive effects of medication (bupropion 300 mg/day vs. placebo) and psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral therapy [CBT] vs. supportive therapy [ST]). In addition to testing the hypothesis that bupropion with CBT would be most effective of all the treatments, we examined medication compliance and its role in the efficacy of bupropion. Participants were 154 women, aged at least 30 years and smoking more than 10 cigarettes/day. Compliance with study medication was assessed using Medication Event Monitoring Systems (MEMS) over 7 weeks of treatment. Psychological interventions were delivered in 60-min weekly group sessions. Longitudinal analysis of abstinence outcomes from end of treatment (EOT) through 12 months after treatment revealed a significant interaction of medication and therapy. Higher abstinence rates at EOT and 3-, 6-, 9-, and 12-month follow-ups were observed when bupropion was delivered concurrently with CBT (44%, 24%, 30%, 23%, 17%) rather than with ST (18%, 1%, 8%, 5%, 2%). The bupropion-CBT combination, however, was not clearly superior to placebo, regardless of therapy assignment. Higher rates of medication compliance were positively predictive of abstinence, and this effect was most evident in the placebo condition. Findings provide only modest support for CBT as the preferred type of intensive therapy in conjunction with bupropion in women.

“…Although many researchers have called for tailored interventions to increase effective cessation among women Ismailov & Leatherdale, 2010;Reynoso, Susabda, & Cepeda-Benito, 2005;Torchalla et al, 2012), few smoking cessation programs have been conceptualized in this way. At the same time, few programs reaching underserved girls and women, which are applying tailored, holistic, women-centered, or trauma-informed approaches, are proactively or effectively integrating tobacco cessation interventions into this programming.…”

“…These variations in effectiveness and potential contraindications need to be considered when designing and implementing interventions for women. Medication and counseling are each effective alone, and should be provided as individual treatments whenever a woman is not interested in combined therapy (Fiore, 2008;Reynoso et al, 2005).…”

Despite high rates of smoking among some subgroups of women, there is a lack of tailored interventions to address smoking cessation among women. We identify components of a women-centered approach to tobacco cessation by analyzing 3 bodies of literature: sex and gender influences in tobacco use and addiction; evidence-based tobacco cessation guidelines; and best practices in delivery of women-centered care. Programming for underserved women should be tailored, build confidence and increase motivation, integrate social justice issues and address inequities, and be holistic and comprehensive. Addressing the complexity of women's smoking and tailoring appropriately could help address smoking among subpopulations of women.

In a substance use treatment center for women in Vancouver, Canada, in 2003, 79% of residential participants and 71% of day program participants reported being current smokers (Malmo, 2007).Findings from several studies that examined gender differences in tobacco dependence and treatment suggest that some subpopulations of women might encounter more challenges in quitting than women in general or men. A study examining cessation rates and treatment response among 2,850 participants found that women, Blacks, and smokers with lower levels of education were less likely to successfully quit smoking, compared to men, Whites, and smokers with high levels of education (Piper et al., 2010). Husky and colleagues found that women with substance use disorders were significantly more likely to smoke than men (Husky et al., 2007). An evaluation of a tobacco cessation intervention for patients with serious mental illness showed a significant difference in treatment effectiveness by gender, with men achieving a higher cessation rate compared to women (69% vs. 31%) (Currie et al., 2008). RESPONSES IN TOBACCO CONTROLEvidence such as this raises important questions about effective smoking cessation treatment for women and girls, and subpopulations of women who are vulnerable to tobacco use. The prevalence of smoking among specific subgroups of women suggests that cessation approaches currently available are (Graham, 2009), and is also a means of managing difficult emotions and facilitating social cohesion (Greaves, 1996). Yet, tobacco cessation treatment interventions have failed to address the full context of women's smoking and social and economic determinants of women's health.Generally, tobacco control efforts have focused on comprehensive approaches aimed ...
