Abstract: Patterns of inequalities in smoking across the five regions strongly resemble those observed in southern Europe. This fits the patterns predicted by the smoking epidemic model. Particular attention should be given to highly educated women, who may perceive smoking as a symbol of modernity, emancipation and independence. Copyright Swiss School of Public Health 2014
