With certain feminine packaging and slogans, slimmer and lighter cigarettes, and women smoking in movies and popular TV shows, the tobacco industry was able to increase the percent of women smoking. In the 1980's, tobacco industries were made to have the surgeon generals warning printed on each packaging of the tobacco products.
