Overview: National surveys reveal striking racial/ethnic disparities in adolescent smoking behavior. Whites and Hispanics are more likely than African Americans to be current or daily smokers throughout adolescence and also appear to initiate smoking earlier. Asian youths tend to exhibit lower rates of smoking than Whites and Hispanics but not African Americans. Previous studies have not revealed White/non-White differences in smoking cessation rates during adolescence; however, specific racial/ethnic subgroup differences have not been thoroughly examined.
