Karly, I did a paper on cessation a while back and thought this article might be of interest if you have not yet seen it.  I recognize it is getting old, but was informative.  I don't hink things have changed that much in the meantime!
Pushkar, M. (1995) Smoking cessation in women: findings from qualitative research. The Nurse Practitioner, 20(11), 80 – 89.

> I would like to learn about programs or resources that use a women-centred
> approach, focusing on empowerment and building on women’s experiences.
> Ideally they would also aim to break down isolation and work to increase
> skills to cope with the day-to-day stressors in these women’s lives.

> The programs and resources do not need to focus on smoking cessation per

> in their lives. Any programs that use a community development approach would
> be of great interest. I am familiar with the work of ASH in Scotland and
> would be interested in hearing from others aboard.
