Despite these alarming statistics, the scale of the threat that smoking causes to women’s health has received surprisingly little attention. Smoking is still seen by many as a mainly male problem, perhaps because men were the first to take up the habit and therefore the first to suffer the ill-effects. This is no longer the case. Women who smoke like men will die like men. WHO estimates that, in industrialized countries, smoking rates among men and women are very similar, at around 30 percent; in a large number of developed countries, smoking is now more common among teenage girls than boys.
As women took up smoking later than men, the full impact of smoking on their health has yet to be seen. But it is clear from countries where women have smoked longest, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, that smoking causes the same diseases in women as in men and the gap between their death rates is narrowing. On current trends, some 20 to 25 percent of women who smoke will die from their habit. One in three of these deaths will be among women under 65 years of age. The US Surgeon General has estimated that, among these women, smoking is responsible for around 40 percent heart disease deaths, 55 percent of lethal strokes and, among women of all ages, 80 percent of lung cancer deaths and 30 percent of all cancer deaths. Over the last 20 years, death rates in women from lung cancer have more than doubled in Japan, Norway, Poland, Sweden and the United Kingdom; have increased by more than 200 percent in Australia, Denmark and New Zealand; and have increased by more than 300 percent in Canada and the United States.
The effect of smoking on women has not been paid enough attention because______.
选项
A、men suffer more from smoking
B、men would like women to smoke

答案
C
解析
根据第一段第二句“Smoking is still seen by many as a mainly male problem,perhaps be-cause men were the first to take up the habit and therefore the first to suffer the ill—effects.”可知,C选项为人们对于吸烟给女性带来的影响关注较少的原因。其他选项均不符。
