“Socially acceptable.” Hmmm. To which society do you refer?

In America, the CDC successfully (for the most part) convinced the public that smoking is not “cool”.

In the US 17 percent of adult males and 13% of females currently smoke, per CDC.

In the Yeshivish world, women rarely smoked, even when rates among men were sky-high and health was not perceived to be detrimentally affected (per my incomplete knowledge of “Yeshivish social history”).

Citing statistics without context is an excellent way to be misleading.

Ergo, women are misleading.
