Differences in the Smoking Volume Distributions between Right and Left Hemithoraces in Men and Women

Compartment	Within Men		P Value	Within Women		P Value
	% SmoV Right Side	% SmoV Left Side		% SmoV Right Side	% SmoV Left Side
RCp	21 ± 7	20 ± 7	0.62	30 ± 6	26 ± 6	0.15
RCa	10 ± 4	11 ± 3	0.40	9 ± 2	10 ± 4	0.80
Abd	19 ± 6	19 ± 8	0.87	12 ± 6	13 ± 7	0.68
Total	100			100

Definition of abbreviations: Abd = abdomen; RCa = abdominal rib cage; RCp = pulmonary rib cage; SmoV = smoking volume.

Differences are expressed as percentage of the total smoking volume puff (% SmoV), in each compartment, between right and left side in women and men.
