Historically, tobacco companies have used various appeals to persuade women to purchase and use cigarettes. Some of these appeals include:

3. Cultural and societal norms: Cultural and societal norms can also influence women's decision to smoke. In some cultures, smoking is more socially acceptable for women, and this can contribute to higher rates of smoking among women in those communities.

4. Marketing and advertising: The marketing and advertising tactics of tobacco companies play a significant role in influencing women's decision to smoke. The use of targeted advertising and appealing imagery can make smoking seem more attractive and desirable to women.
