The 1998 Surgeon General's report, Tobacco Use Among U.S. Racial/Ethnic Minority Groups, addressed diverse tobacco-control needs of the four primary U.S. racial/ethnic minority populations: non-Hispanic blacks, American Indians/Alaska Natives (AI/ANs), Asians/Pacific Islanders, and Hispanics. However, data on these populations do not describe differences in tobacco-use prevalence among subsets of these populations. To assess the prevalence of cigarette smoking among persons aged > or =12 years among 14 racial/ethnic populations in the United States, CDC analyzed self-reported data collected during 1999-2001 from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) (formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse). This report summarizes the results of that analysis, which indicated that the prevalence of cigarette smoking among adults aged > or =18 years ranged from 40.4% for AI/ANs to 12.3% for the Chinese population, and the prevalence among youths aged 12-17 years ranged from 27.9% for AI/ANs to 5.2% for the Japanese population. Implementing tobacco-control programs that include culturally appropriate interventions can help reduce tobacco use among racial/ethnic populations.
1998年美国卫生局局长的报告《美国少数族裔群体中的烟草使用情况》阐述了美国四个主要少数族裔群体（非西班牙裔黑人、美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民、亚裔/太平洋岛民和西班牙裔）在烟草控制方面的不同需求。然而，有关这些群体的数据并未描述这些群体各子群体在烟草使用流行率方面的差异。为评估美国14个种族/族裔群体中12岁及以上人群的吸烟流行率，美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）分析了1999 - 2001年期间从全国药物使用和健康调查（NSDUH）（前身为全国药物滥用家庭调查）收集的自我报告数据。本报告总结了该分析结果，结果表明，18岁及以上成年人的吸烟流行率从美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民的40.4%到华裔人群的12.3%不等，12 - 17岁青少年的吸烟流行率从美国印第安人/阿拉斯加原住民的27.9%到日本人群的5.2%不等。实施包括符合文化背景的干预措施在内的烟草控制项目有助于减少种族/族裔群体中的烟草使用。
