Resum:	The epidemiology of smoking is a changing topic: it is a dynamic process that was characterized in a "descriptive model" more than two decades ago by Lopez et al. and recently updated by Thun et al. , underlying its gender specificity. In Spain, the trend in the smoking prevalence by sex has been well characterized by reconstructing the historical prevalence rates from recent surveys. In men, smoking prevalence was already above 50% in mid-1990 and slowly increased up to 60% in the 1970s, remaining stable up to 1980, when it started to decrease to 40% in 2000, and to 27. 9% in 2011. In women, smoking prevalence was very low in 1940, slowly increasing during the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s (from 0. 1% in 1940 to 6. 0% in 1965), and sharply increased during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s till 26. 5% in 1990. Women's smoking prevalence levelled off at approximately 26% until the early 2000s, when it started to decrease slowly and reached 20% in 2011.
