Cigarette quitting behaviors among rural Black/African American women caregivers

What is it about?

This study describes how the home tobacco environment (home cigarette smoking bans, caregiver restrictions on child cigarette access at home, and the quantity and source of home-based environmental tobacco exposure) relates to cigarette quitting behaviors among Black/African American women caregivers who smoke cigarettes and live in rural, low-resourced areas. We found that multiple generations are smoking within caregivers’ homes and that both the quantity and source of home-based caregiver environmental tobacco exposure relates to caregiver quitting behaviors. Understanding Black/ African American rural caregivers’ home environment may improve the success of tobacco interventions.
