I am guessing it would also be affected (hopefully) by pregnancy rates too, where women would smoke less if pregnant or nursing and therefore, more likely to quit? I think there are pretty good signs from those numbers that there is a cultural element heavily in play as to why there are big differences as well as virtually no difference in some places. Scandinavia is pretty well known for having a lot less disparity between men and women across most areas of society.

Yes where there is more equality the numbers are fairly similar. I wonder if the drinking habits are similar as well? You would have to be careful dating in Scandinavian countries as you are likely to find a beer swilling chain smoker in the under 30's age categories anyway.
At least in Scandinavia they are likely to be - although problem drinkers probably skew toward the men a fair bit.
In my experience, very few in Scandinavia are "careful" in pretty much anyway :D
