Psychological, social and cultural influences on smoking among lesbian, bisexual and queer women
This article identifies factors contributing to the ongoing socio-cultural relevance of smoking for some LBQ women in Australia. These specific psychological, social and cultural contexts remain salient for LBQ women's smoking and must be factored into smoking cessation campaigns and programme designs for this population. Tailored messaging that emphasises alternative self-care strategies and the benefits of quitting in the context of supportive communities may be more effective in engaging LBQ women than long-term health risk messages.
