From the Paper:

"Since 1964, it has been known that smoking is a cause of human cancer. Unfortunately, in the 40 years since this report smoking has only become more common on women and the heath effects are becoming more and more apparent each year. Smoking has both physical and psychologically addictive elements, and is notoriously difficult to quit. Research into cessation has been available, but has also been mostly targeted only at Caucasian females. Relapse rates are very high, with one of the most significant factors in relapse prevention being education and motivation on the part of the smoker."
