“…CHIS data show that a relatively large proportion of Asian males are current smokers (21%) and that the smoking prevalence among Asian males exceeds that of NonHispanic Whites and Hispanics. An analysis of Asian subgroups showed that smoking rates are much higher for Filipino males as compared to Chinese males, confirming a prior report by Baluja and colleagues [14]. In addition, the smoking prevalence is higher among foreignborn versus U.S.-born Asian males, which has previously been found among Vietnamese and Chinese men residing in California [6].…”

“…Pérez-Stable et al 50 identified higher levels of smoking among US-born Hispanics than among Hispanics living in the United States but born elsewhere, and a similar pattern has been reported for Asian Americans. 51 English as a primary language has been associated with higher rates of lifetime smoking among Hispanic and Asian American adolescents. 44 The association between mental illness and higher smoking prevalence is consistent with existing literature.…”

Objectives. We used admissions data from the New York State addiction treatment system to assess patient self-reported tobacco use and factors associated with tobacco use. Methods. We compared prevalence of tobacco use in the state addiction treatment system with that of a national sample of people receiving addiction treatment and with that of the New York general population in 2005 to 2008. A random effects logistic model assessed relationships between patient- and program-level variables and tobacco use. Results. Prevalence of tobacco use in the New York treatment system was similar to that in national addiction treatment data and was 3 to 4 times higher than that in the general population. Co-occurring mental illness, opiate use, methadone treatment, and being a child of a substance-abusing parent were associated with higher rates of tobacco use. Conclusions. We call on federal leadership to build capacity to address tobacco use in addiction treatment, and we call on state leadership to implement tobacco-free grounds policies in addiction treatment systems.

“…Although there are many sources of ETS in the environment, parental smoking status (and related in-home ETS concentration) is a strongly associated with biologic markers of exposure for many children, and it is well established that smoking prevalence rates vary by ethnicity/race, immigrant status, and country of birth (Baluja et al 2003). Relatively little is known, however, about how these demographic variables affect the magnitude, duration, and frequency of children's exposure to ETS.…”
