Hi

I hope this list can help me.

I need the answers as soon as possible in a concise manner.

1. Is the danger of getting lung cancer/other cancers higher for female compared to male smokers for the same amount they smoke? Why?

2. How does smoking affect female hormones? Do women who smokes have menopause earlier? Why?

3. Is it more difficult for female smokers to quit? What problems?

4. Can smoking increase the metabolic rate resulting in a slimmer look?

5. How does smoking affect female cancers?

Thanks Kelvin

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
