Abstract
⺠Immigrants to Canada are less likely to smoke than native-born Canadians. ⺠Significant variations in smoking prevalence are noted when immigrants are disaggregated by country of origin. ⺠Immigrants are more likely to quit smoking than the Canadian-born. ⺠Neighbourhood disadvantage was negatively associated with quitting, but is not as important as individual socioeconomic characteristics.
