Racism, discrimination, and distress: A cross-sectional examination of smoking behaviors among adults who smoke during the COVID-19 pandemic
Perceived experiences with racism and discrimination among people who smoke were associated with making a serious smoking quit attempt but also predicted relapse. Further research can develop smoking cessation interventions that consider various social stressors, such as experiences with racism and discrimination.
