Resumen
Este artículo indaga en los sentidos que adquiere el consumo de tabaco para las mujeres fumadoras en el marco de sus vidas cotidianas. Para ello, se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a mujeres que comenzaron a fumar en diferentes momentos de la difusión del cigarrillo en España. En una primera fase, el consumo de tabaco constituyó un potente mecanismo simbólico de trasgresión de las fronteras de género y de apropiación de poder masculino. Hoy día, el consumo femenino de tabaco incorpora sentidos específicos y compatibles con los modelos hegemónicos de feminidad y situaciones de recursos de las mujeres, configurándose como una práctica funcional y útil en cuanto a sus beneficios sociales, corporales y emocionales. Sin embargo, estos sentidos se encuentran en transformación dentro del proceso de estigmatización de esta práctica.
