How is choosing to smoke more an inequality?
- arethuza 9y agoI suspect because if your peer group smoke it is much more difficult to choose to not to smoke?
- tibbetts 9y agoThat’s the kind of thing that population health researchers study. Answers include availability, lack of availability of healthier alternatives, targeted marketing, being missed by anti-smoking campaigns, and peer group influences. While smoking may be a personal choice, it is not made in a vacuum.
