CHANNEL 61 K61CU-TV (No Cable Required) More college women smoke Cigarette companies emphasize glamour, success V 474-1066 Haymarket -J 824"?" St. -J rKHQUKB r ii r : The Associated Press DETROIT College women are more likely than college men to smoke cigarettes, suggesting that the tobacco industry is successfully linking female smoking with an image of glamour and success, according to a federal study released Monday. "The cigarette companies emphas ize two major themes in getting women to smoke: One is trying to associate smoking with being liberated and the other is more subliminal, but not very subtle, and that is that women should smoke to stay thin," social psycholo gist Lloyd D. Johnston said. The typical cigarette ad aimed at women features "very long, slender models and very long, slender cigar ettes," Johnston said. Johnston was a director of the study conducted for the National Institute on Drug Abuse by the University of Michi gan's Institute for Social Research. Among college women, the daily smoking rate was 18 percent last year compared with 10 percent for men. "It appears the tobacco industry's expensive and long-term effort to asso ciate smoking with liberation and suc cess among women has paid off, at least for the industry," Johnston said. "The payoff for those young women who bought the message is quite another matter." Scott Stapf, a spokesman for the Tobacco Institute, a Washington-based trade organization representing cigar ette manufacturers, called the conclu sions "complete baloney." The Tobacco Institute said advertis ing and promotions are aimed at cur rent smokers as competing companies try to win converts or persuade smok ers to stick with their current brands. "There's not a single study that establishes cigarette advertising as the main factor" or a contributing factor in a person's decision to become a smoker, Stapf said. Rather, "peer pressure and the role of parents and elders gener ally" are the main factors, he said. Officials of Philip Morris Inc., maker of Virginia Slims and RJ. Reynolds, producer of More cigarettes brands heavily marketed to women could not be reached for comment because their New York offices were closed Monday for the Fourth of July holiday. Virginia Slims advertising has fea tured the slogan, "You've come a long way, baby." The st udy grew out of a 10-year series of surveys of drug use by high school seniors around the country. About 1,100 college students were interviewed each year from 1980 to 1985. The results have a margin of error of less than 3 percen tage points. "Smoking tends to be highly related to grades and to school performance generally," Johnston said. "The smar ter kids are less likely to get hooked on cigarettes." The study did not say how much college women smoke. Past studies indicate that more women than men fall into the "moderate to light smoker" category, he said, but the situation may be changing and more study is needed. The study found that cigarette smoking is much less common on cam pus than among young adults who don't go to college. "Most smoking habits are estab lished in adolescence," Johnston said. "The sex difference goes back to high school. . . .For some reason, college bound females are smoking more than college-bound males."
