“…In contrast, 38% of White light-smoking mothers smoked during pregnancy and 9% smoked during the entire pregnancy. This issue is relevant particularly to Latino and African American pregnant mothers, the former being the largest ethnic group ( Humes et al, 2011 ) and the latter having the highest infant mortality rate ( T. S. Johnson, Malnory, Nowak, & Kelber, 2011 ). Overall, there is little information related to cultural factors and nicotine expressions of addiction for ethnic and racial populations.…”

The infl ux of immigrants from Mexico; China; the Philippines; and other Asian, Latin, and South American countries is reshaping the United States (Cohen & Saenz, 2011). According to 2010 data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Latinos -defi ned as people of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, South or Central American, or other Spanish cultural origin, regardless of race ( Humes, Jones, & Ramirez, 2011 )-constitute the largest ethnic minority population in the United States, totaling 48.4 million ( Humes et al., 2011 ). The U.S. Census Bureau has estimated that by 2050, three of every 10 people in the United States will be Latino ( Cheeseman Day, 2010 ). Although typically portrayed as immigrants, only 37% of Latinos are foreign born ( Cohen & Saenz, 2011 ). Mexicans (∼32 million) represent nearly two thirds of all Latinos, followed by Puerto Ricans (∼4. 4 million), Salvadorans (∼1.7 million), Cubans (∼1.7 million), Dominicans (∼1.4 million), Guatemalans (∼1.1 million), and Latinos from other Latin American countries ( Humes et al., 2011 ). Black Americans constitute the second largest racial minority population, representing 13.6% of the U.S. population (∼41.8 million people; Infoplease, 2010 ). Although Black immigrants represented only 8% of all immigrants in 2005 ( Kent, 2007 ), they too contribute to an increasingly diversifi ed U.S. Black population, of whom 38% are African born and 20% are Caribbean or Latin American born ( Kent, 2007 ).
