Crossing racial lines provides a unique context for understanding racial patterns in smoking. This research explores whether adults whose unions cross racial lines behave more similarly to their own group or their partner's Using a sample of respondents from the National Health Interview Survey (2001-2011), we compare the likelihood of current smoking and quitting smoking among adults in mixed-race unions to adults in same-race unions. Adults with different-race partners generally mirror their group; people of color with White partners have a higher likelihood of being current smokers, similar to Whites, while Whites partnered with Asians and Latina/os are, like other Asians and Latino/as, less likely to smoke. There are fewer differences in the likelihood of quitting smoking.
跨种族结合为理解吸烟的种族模式提供了一个独特的背景。本研究探讨了跨种族结合的成年人的行为是更类似于自己的群体还是伴侣的群体。利用国家健康访谈调查（2001-2011 年）的受访者样本，我们将跨种族结合的成年人与同种族结合的成年人进行比较，以评估他们目前吸烟和戒烟的可能性。通常，与不同种族的伴侣结合的成年人会反映出自己的群体；与白人伴侣结合的有色人种更有可能像白人一样成为当前吸烟者，而与亚洲人和拉丁裔/裔美国人结合的白人则与其他亚洲人和拉丁裔/裔美国人一样，不太可能吸烟。在戒烟的可能性方面，差异较小。
