مستخلص: Despite the overall decline in smoking prevalence, the self-reported smoking prevalence among women in their 20s and 30s has increased in recent years. Focus on gender social norms as one factor determining women's smoking behavior, we examine how gender social norms formed in adolescence influence women's smoking decisions in adulthood. Using the sex ratio at birth in women's growth regions as a proxy for gender social norms, we find that when the sex ratio at birth for fourth or higher-order children in the growth region decreases by one standard deviation, women at age 19-39 statistically significantly increase the probability of smoking by a 0.12 standard deviation. Subsample analyses reveal that the influence of gender social norms is particularly pronounced among unmarried women. These findings suggest that, along with the increase in the share of unmarried women, the changing gender social norms may partially explain the recent increase in smoking prevalence among Korean young women, independent of public health policy interventions.
