Smokers' beliefs about the tobacco control potential of "a gene for smoking": a focus group study.

BMC public health - 25 Nov 2014

Waters Erika A, Ball Linda, Carter Kimberly, Gehlert Sarah

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Several genetic variations associated with nicotine dependence and lung cancer exist. Translating this knowledge into tobacco control policy relies on smokers' perceptions of the implications of the research. This study explored smokers' beliefs about the tobacco control uses for research examining genomics, smoking, and addiction. METHOD: Smokers (N = 85) participated in one of thirteen focus groups...
