Why focus on females? Do you think it's ok for men to smoke but not women?
The other day I actually saw a woman reading!
Women! Education! How shocking!

That's a good question.
I think that it's the human condition. Humans need to find a way to lessen the stress of living. Unfortunately, cigarettes, alcohol and similar mind-altering drugs are pretty effective at accomplishing this objective (at least temporarily), and so for most people, it's easier to see the merits of smoking and turn a blind eye to the horrible demerits like permanent lung damage. IMHO, I think that life coping skills should be taught in school.

So you mean to say, just because I am a man and they are women, they should await my approval to smoke?

When I was young it was more like 90% of the adult population who smoked.
So I left, I came home, and I ate some pie. And then I read this tiny ad:
