Therewere significant differences between womenand men smoking rates (t= -4.42, p<.001) andsmoking duration (t= -5.43, p<.001). Theseresults also suggest that there were significantpositive relationships between biochemical coping skill and smoking rate (r= .11, <.001) andsmoking duration (r= .87, <.001).

Kadınlarlaerkeklerin sigara içme oranları (t= -4.42, p<.001)ve sigara içme süreleri (t= -5.43, p<.001)arasında anlamlı farklar gözlenmiştir. Sonuçlarbiyokimyasal başa çıkma becerileri ile sigaraiçme miktarı (r= .11, <.001) ve sigara içme süresi (r= .87, <.001) arasında pozitif yönde anlamlıilişkiler olduğunu göstermiştir.
