Cigarette smoking is the dominant form of tobacco use across the world. There is growing concern about to the increasing trend of female smoking in India. The overall female smoking is growing at a faster rate than male, which is an emerging concern and requires attention of policy makers. A recent WHO report stated that, 'in quickly developing India, female cigarette smoking exists mainly among the urban elite classes of large cosmopolitan cities, which may reflect women's aspiration to 'equal' the social position of men'. Our result suggests smoking cannot be defined with education, and for occupation cigarette smoking is mostly among the higher income groups whereas bidi, gutkha are mostly among the low-income groups.
