This article describes smoking habits among Norwegian men and women born between 1890 and 1974. In order to follow the smoking habits in groups which included the same persons throughout the observation period, the proportion of smokers in five-year birth cohorts of men and women was tabulated by age or calendar year of birth. The percentage of smokers was more than five times higher in men than in women born during the period 1890-94, but the gap declined with later year of birth until no gender difference existed between men and women born after 1950. Male smoking peaked in the 1950s with 76-78% smokers in men born in the period 1915-34. The highest proportion of female smokers was observed around 1970, when 52% smoked among those born in the 1940s. Since 1955, smoking has declined in all cohorts of men, whereas the decline in female smoking started in the early 1970s.
本文描述了1890年至1974年出生的挪威男性和女性的吸烟习惯。为了追踪在整个观察期内包含相同人群的组中的吸烟习惯，按年龄或出生年份将男性和女性的五年出生队列中的吸烟者比例制成表格。在1890 - 1894年期间出生的男性中，吸烟者的百分比比女性高出五倍多，但随着出生年份的推移，这一差距逐渐缩小，直到1950年以后出生的男性和女性之间不存在性别差异。男性吸烟率在20世纪50年代达到峰值，1915 - 1934年期间出生的男性中吸烟者比例为76% - 78%。女性吸烟者比例最高出现在1970年左右，当时出生于20世纪40年代的女性中有52%吸烟。自1955年以来，所有男性队列中的吸烟率都在下降，而女性吸烟率的下降始于20世纪70年代初。
