Why don’t the highly educated smoke?
It's well established that adults with college degrees are much less likely to smoke than adults with less education, but the reasons for this inequality are unclear.

Education, finances affect risk of heart disease more for women than men
ANN ARBOR-Low levels of education and financial assets have long been linked to increased risks of cardiovascular disease. But a new University of Michigan study shows that the association is much greater for middle-aged and older women than it is for men of similar ages. "These findings suggest that health care professionals should consider exploring interventions aimed at reducing the risks of heart disease for this group of women," said Kristi Rahrig Jenkins, a U-M sociologist who co-authored the study published last month in Women & Health.
