Are boys more likely to smoke than girls in their high school years?

Question

the question is for a survey in school

Answer 1

Since the 1990s, girls 15 to 19 have smoking rates that are higher than boys. In 2005, the smoking rate for both girls and boys 15 to 19 was the same, at 18%.

Teens aged 15 to 19 who smoke consume an average of 11 cigarettes a day, down from 13 a day in 1999.

The highest smoking rates are for young adults age 20 to 24 years at 26%, although greatly reduced from 35% in 1999.

Answer 3

I personally do not believe this to be the case. More I believe that boys as well as girls are smoking alike except for the fact that boys Will probably be more heavy smokers then girls, also do I believe that it is peer pressure that starts them smoking.

Answer 4

Yes. It is simply owing to the fact most girls are bashful and have less access to the cigarettes besides it is not too much feminine to show with a cigarette dangling from the mouth. Cigarette always symbolizes macho element in the assumption of males and advertisers of cigarettes.
