Answer 4

It's the culture. It's not like a taboo but it's considered unethical to smoke, alteast for women. Though that isn't the case anymore, there are many indian girls who smoke and are very open about it but i guess mentally the society hasn't accepted it and they look upon women who smoke as "bad" or "uncultured" while that may not be the case. In my personal opinion though i think its ok smoking is considered unethical because in a way it controls something that has absolutely no good in it.

Answer 5

Women in India more respect modesty, this stop them doing all activities that will bring their respect down..

Every country has it's own unique culture.While in other country smoking by women may be common, in India the culture is conservative and very different.Smoking by women is unacceptable in most sections of society and women who smoke are considered to be women of lose virtues.But isn't it better this way?It is better to maintain this culture.Isn't smoking slow poison?

Answer 9

Answer 10

due to indian culture. most of the indian girls are broght up in such a manner that they create a disinterst in them for smoking.

Answer 11

most Indian women refrain from smoking because we are brought up in such a way that we realize that smoking is just not done in our country. We realize that in our country we have to follow the socially accepted thing or we'll be considered an outcaste, normally women. While indian women might smoke in other countries where smoking is common they wont in india. But now, in most cities u dont have to go very far to find an indian woman smoking.
