Summary
Smoking habits are analyzed by SEG for men and women, aged 15–74. The SEGs are constructed using education and income and here Only the middle-class, with three sub-groups, is considered. Overachievers are more often smokers. There are less quitters and more heavy smokers in this sub-group than among under-achievers. Smoking habits of female over- and middle-achievers are similar to those of male over-achievers. Female and male under-achievers show similar smoking habits. These observations are consistent with the hypothesis that socio-economic factors are influencial in determining smoking habits.
Résumé
Les habitudes de fumer ont été examinées selon GSE en Suisse. Ces GSE ont été construits en utilisant les variables formation professionelle et revenu. Nous examinons ici trois sous-groupes de la classe moyenne, déterminés selon la concordance entre formation accomplie et revenu. Il y a davantage de fumeurs dans le sous-groupe des «over-achievers» que dans les deux autres sous-groupes. Les fumeurs de ce groupe ont aussi une consommation de tabac plus importante et un taux de cessation plus bas. Les habitudes de fumer des femmes «over-achievers» et «middle-achievers» ressemblent à celles des hommes «over-achievers». Des hommes et femmes «under-achievers» ont des habitudes de fumer similaires. Ces observations sont en accord avec l'hypothèse que des facteurs socioéconomiques sont importants dans le développement des habitudes de fumer.
