If we look specifically at the social variable gender and smoking patterns by gender. Smoking tobacco was ________ a male practice prior to 20th century.
exclusively
Smoking tobacco was predominantly a male practice prior to the 20th century. However, in the early 1900s, smoking became increasingly common among women and by the mid-20th century smoking became popular among young women who saw smoking as a symbol of independence and equality with men. Over the years, social campaigns and public health messages have aimed to discourage smoking, especially among women, due to rising health concerns. Despite this, smoking patterns by gender still show that men are more likely to smoke than women, although the gap has decreased in recent years.
