Smoking prevalence among Asian Americans: Associations with education, acculturation, and gender
2022, Preventive Medicine ReportsCitation Excerpt :Conversely, tobacco use among Asian immigrant men typically declines with increasing acculturation because tobacco use is typically less prevalent among males in the U.S. than is the case in most Asian countries (An et al., 2008; Gotay et al., 2015; Patel et al., 2018; Reiss et al., 2015; J. Zhang & Wang, 2008). Thus, more U.S. acculturated Asian men and less acculturated Asian women are more likely to be non-smokers (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2011; Lee et al., 2000; Martins et al., 2015; Moeschberger et al., 1997), compared with less U.S. acculturated Asian men and more acculturated Asian women, respectively. Level of educational attainment is highly related to smoking prevalence in the U.S. Specifically, smoking rates generally decrease with increased education (Agaku et al., 2020; Fujiwara & Kawachi, 2009; Gage et al., 2018; Heckman et al., 2016; Leas et al., 2020; Nguyen-Grozavu et al., 2020; Tsai et al., 2008).

2008, American Journal of Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Given recent evidence of the importance of social networks on smoking cessation, mosque-based programs promoting self-efficacy, religious prohibitions against tobacco use, and familial and social support may be effective in encouraging tobacco cessation and changing social norms regarding tobacco use.8 Similar to other ethnic minorities, tobacco use among Somalis varies by gender.9–13 However, in the Somali community women are particularly stigmatized if they smoke.
