  ABSTRACT: This study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire to clarify the differences in menopausal symptoms between smokers and non-smokers in Japanese nurses and the relationship between job-related stress and smoking. The proportion of smokers was 10.3%. Smokers are more likely than non-smokers to have menopausal symptoms such as heart beating quickly or strongly, difficulty in sleeping, loss of interested in most things and night sweat. The scores for anxiety and vasomotor factors in smokers were significantly higher than non-smokers in the postmenopausal stage. Support to stop smoking should be provided before menopausal transition.
