Differences in tobacco use prevalence, behaviors, and cessation services by race/ethnicity: A survey of persons in addiction treatment

Some findings reflected broader population patterns (e.g., tobacco use behaviors, other tobacco product use), while others did not (e.g., no difference in tobacco use prevalence by race/ethnicity). The reasons for greater receipt of cessation services among African Americans are unclear. Findings indicate the need for continued engagement of African Americans and Hispanics in cessation services while in addiction treatment, and for addressing heavier tobacco use and lack of interest in cessation during treatment among White clients.
