“…Pointof-sale advertisements, corner stores, and gas station promotions have been shown to disproportionately target and expose Black communities to tobacco advertising. The tobacco industry has systematically and selectively targeted people of color, people with lower socioeconomic status, education, sexual minority groups and youth over the years [25][26][27] with a resultant increase in tobacco use by the targeted populations in the target communities 20 . A literature review by Cruz et al identified more studies of pro-tobacco marketing with planned efforts to increase tobacco use, such as greater density of tobacco billboards or promotions in retail outlets, in predominantly Black communities compared to studies on anti-tobacco campaigns 28 .…”

Objective: This study aimed to examine the intersectional effects of race and educational attainment on tobacco advertising exposure among adults in Baltimore, given the growing evidence on differential influence of education for Black and White populations. Methods: A survey was conducted in Baltimore, collecting data on educational attainment, demographics, and tobacco advertising exposure among adults (n = 3028, 22.7% 18 – 29, 17.9% 30 – 39, 23.4% 40 – 49, 20.9% 50–59, and 11.1% 60+ years old). The sample included both Black and White adult individuals. Logistic regression analyses were employed to assess the association between educational attainment and tobacco advertising exposure, without and with interaction with race, adjusting for relevant covariates such as age, gender, and employment. Sensitivity analysis also controlled for smoking status. Results: The study results indicated that while high educational attainment is associated with less exposure to tobacco ads, highly educated Black adults report significantly higher tobacco advertising exposure compared to highly educated White adults. Same results were observed after controlling for smoking status. Conclusion: Educational attainment may not exhibit a large protective effect against environmental risks such as tobacco ad exposure for Black populations, possibly because of segregation and racism that hinder highly educated Black people ability to move to low-risk neighborhoods.

“…Tobacco-related disparities continue to exist among ethnic–racial minoritized communities in the United States. These disparities contribute to disproportionate rates of preventable death among these groups (Martell et al, 2016; Mendez & Le, 2022; Pagano et al, 2018), with increased incidence, morbidity, and mortality from cancer, heart disease, stroke, complications of pregnancy, and respiratory illnesses; Henley et al, 2016; National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (US) Office on Smoking and Health, 2014; Webb Hooper, 2018. Racially minoritized communities have also experienced a disproportionate burden due to tobacco-related issues and continue to experience a significant increase in opioid-related drug overdoses between 2014 and 2017 compared to other ethnic–racial groups (Scholl et al, 2018).…”

Objective: The present study aimed to understand the role of critical action, sociopolitical participation, an essential form of consciousness in the relationship between interpersonal discrimination and the use of tobacco products. Method: The present study was part of a more extensive longitudinal study on students' genetic and environmental experiences. To examine these associations, 164 racially minoritized college students (M age = 19.86, SD = 0.28) were surveyed for this study. Results: Findings indicated that the relation between interpersonal ethnic-racial discrimination (IERD) and tobacco products was moderated by critical action. Specifically, IERD was associated with greater use of tobacco products when students had low critical consciousness-critical action. The relation between IERD and the use of tobacco products became nonsignificant when students had high critical action. Conclusions: Critical action was protective in mitigating increased tobacco use in the context of discrimination experiences. Research, clinical, and policy implications are discussed in efforts to reduce tobacco-related disparities among racially minoritized college students. Public Significance StatementCritical action is protective in mitigating increased tobacco use in the context of discrimination experiences. Critical action suggests that social capital can promote health and well-being.

“…3 A complex interaction across socioecological domains of individual, interpersonal, community/organizational, and societal/policy factors influence these disparities in tobacco use and treatment, and ultimately within cancer care. [4][5][6] The Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I), which was launched in 2017, includes 52 NCI-designated Cancer Centers that work to integrate high-quality tobacco treatment into routine cancer care. 7 Although NCI has previously funded tobacco-related disparities research in community networks, 8 C3I is integrated into the cancer center infrastructure, thereby providing an ideal platform to examine and intervene on multilevel influences across the entire cancer control continuum, from prevention to palliation.…”

Integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Approaches Into Treatment of Commercial Tobacco Use for Optimal Cancer Care Delivery

Tobacco-related cancer incidence and mortality and commercial tobacco use have decreased steadily in recent decades, but improvements have not been equitably experienced across population subgroups. A complex interaction across socioecological domains of individual, interpersonal, community/organization, and societal/policy factors influence disparities in tobacco use, treatment, and related health outcomes. NCI’s Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) provides an ideal platform to examine and intervene on multilevel influences across the cancer control continuum to reduce any disproportionate tobacco-related burden and eliminate tobacco-related disparities. The C3I Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Working Group encourages cancer centers to develop, evaluate, and adopt evidence-based practices regarding DEI for prevention and treatment of commercial tobacco use across the cancer control continuum. This paper highlights how 3 C3I sites intervene to address socioecological influences on tobacco use among racially, ethnically, socioeconomically, and geographically diverse patient subgroups. It then outlines ways in which DEI considerations could be integrated into research with patients with cancer who use tobacco and practices related to standards of cancer care. Incorporating DEI considerations in the pursuit of optimal tobacco treatment could facilitate elimination of inequities in population-level cancer outcomes, spanning the full continuum of cancer care from prevention to survivorship.
