OBJECTIVES: Despite greater negative environmental influences such as lower socioeconomic status, less parental education, more single-parent households and urban dwelling, African Americans are less likely to begin smoking than European Americans. The goal of the current investigation was to examine the proportion of genetic and environmental influences on smoking in a sample of adult African-American twins....
