Lesbian smokers subject of study

01/Apr/2009

Comments:

RESEARCHERS are trying to find out why lesbian and bisexual women smoke more than the rest of the population.

Women who smoke or quit the habit are wanted for a Curtin University of Technology study that hopes to unravel the cause.

Researchers say lesbian and bisexual women smoke at higher rates and hope the study’s findings will contribute positively to the area of gay health.

Participants must smoke, or have recently quit the habit, be aged over 18, live in WA and be willing to take part in a private interview.
