Women smoking - they've overtaken men in the habit in the north east partly because of influences on girls which are 'more insidious than mere peer pressure' 英国东北部的女性比男性更嗜好抽烟，部分由于女性“对社交压力更敏感”。 Their survey has just found that women smokers now outnumber men in the region, which according to Dr Andrew Russell of the uni's Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience is globally rare. Stress and its worsening by recession almost certainly play a part, but why more on women? What other causes may there be? Andrew Russell博士进行了一项“危害、风险和恢复力”的调查，调查结果发现，女性吸烟人数在该地区已经超过男性，而这一现象在全球非常罕见。由于经济不景气而造成的巨大压力是导致吸烟人数上升的一大原因，但为什么增多的吸烟者会是女性？这背后还有什么其他原因吗？ A public discussion tomorrow, Tuesday, organised by the institute and Durham city's Forum for Health hopes to make some progress in finding out. It's being held at the Dales Suite, Collingwood College, Durham University and organisers are looking for leads to new empirical studies, as well as giving their own opinions and hearing others. 学院组织了一次公开讨论会，将于明天即周二展开。达拉谟城市的健康搜查论坛希望经过这次讨论会，能够对导致女性吸烟人数居高不下的原因有所发现。此次讨论会选址于达拉谟大学考林伍德学院中的Dales套房，发起者们希望能探讨出一条引领大家通往新的实证研究的道路，同时也将在会议中表达各自的观点、聆听他人的想法。 |
