SMOKING AND TOBACCO TOBACCO USE IS AN ESTABLISHED RISK FACTOR FOR LUNG CANCER.

Tobacco consumption data from the U. S. Census is used or the patterns of smoking to determine Estimated lung cancer rates for racial / ethnic groups in the United States. Pinsky found Compared with non-Hispanic whites (56%) more likely to have smoked Asia and the Pacific islands / (34%), Hispanic (38%). Even non-Spanish More white cigarettes on average (19 per day) were more likely to smoke Long (30 packs per year), the Pacific Islands, Asia / (compared to 15 Pack a day for 22 years) and Spanish (19 pieces - 13 days per year). This The results are in line with an increased incidence of lung cancer among non-Hispanic Caucasian, Hispanic, compared with the islands of the Pacific and Asian /. In contrast, Pinsky American Indians, but has little effect compared to the observed non-Hispanic whites, a higher proportion of tobacco-American Indians (58%) Low intensity (17 cigarettes per day), with time and a lower (28 Pack - years) in the demo. African Americans have the highest incidence of lung cancer for all these Group, on average fewer cigarettes (at 12 per day) and the short period of smoking (20 pack - years). She has also shown that African-Americans The lower smoking, probably Caucasian (47%) compared to the percentage (32%), final The inclusion of the long-term smoking can be African-Americans accounting Increased risk of lung cancer (12). Schwartz and Swanson (13) between the incidence of lung cancer compared to African American and Caucasian Metropolitan Detroit Cancer Surveillance The system. After treatment of their smoking habits, concluded that no match Independent predictor of risk of lung cancer. But know that there As African-American men, age-related racial differences in lung cancer risk Low was 3-8 times the risk of passive smoking and lung cancer or not Compared to white men with similar exposure to smoke. Stellman et al. (14) Risk of lung cancer reported was similar for whites and African Americans Also had given up the smoking behavior of African-Americans back across the Heavy smokers (37.5 pack a day or - 21 or more cigarettes per year). The Group recognizes that heavy smoking is rare in the general population African-American smokers. By contrast, Haiman. (15) and lung cancer risk reported in the U.S.
Racial and ethnic groups modified by the degree of exposure to smoking using data from Multiethnic cohort study. Consumption in smokers Less than 30 cigarettes per day, African Americans and Native Hawaiians Had a higher risk of developing lung cancer than other groups. An important difference from 30 smokers were observed In this report every day. The authors related the lack of such higher The levels of smoking, which "may be due to the fact that the metabolic pathways and other related (After) saturated. "
Many studies have emphasized African-Americans that it has a higher priority
Since menthol cigarettes, the association between the currency Tobacco use and risk of lung cancer, there is room for study and discussion
Conflicting results (14, 16 to 19) reported. In recent years, of Etzel. (20) has reported Increased risk of lung cancer in smokers or current reports of Menthol cigarette smoking history (range = 0.69 OR 0.99) can be seen Evidence of possible protective effect among current smokers reported Menthol smoking.
American Indians and Alaska Natives, rates and cigarette consumption among smokers
The highest smoking rates in different geographical areas Indians living in Alaska (45.1%), Northern Plains (44.2%), followed by SW (17.0%) (21). American Indians and Alaska Natives, and smoke less, Cigarettes per day than whites with lower intensity, a high percentage of
Native American men compared with the cigar (5.3%), smoked White men (4.8%) and African-American men (3.9%) (21). In addition, the report In addition, chewing tobacco, with emphasis on the higher prevalence of smoking a pipe Compared with other ethnic groups, using snuff, and the native American Team. For pipe smokers, the reported prevalence is 6.9% of the United States. Indigenous, 2.9% white, 2.4 percent African American and Islanders Pacific / Asian American (21) 2.3%. The reported prevalence of use of snuff /chewing tobacco, Native Americans and Alaska Natives are 4.5%. 3.4% Caucasian, 3.0% African American, 0.8% Hispanic, and 0.6% Islanders Pacific / Asian American (21). For men, the reported prevalence American Indians and Alaska natives for the use of cigars, 4.8% Caucasian, 5.3%. African American (21) to 3.9%. The report is 10 years points Changes in tobacco use among racial / ethnic groups in the United States.
