Smoking by Blacks and Whites: Socioeconomic and Demographic Differences.
Novotny, Thomas E.; And Others
American Journal of Public Health, v78 n9 p1187-9 Sep 1988
Examination of data from a national survey reveals that the odds of ever smoking are not higher for blacks than for whites. The odds of heavy smoking for blacks are far less than for whites. Blacks are significantly less likely to quit smoking than whites, regardless of socioeconomic or demographic factors. (Author/BJV)
