TL;DR
It is suggested that new smoking prevention and cessation programs might be culturally tailored for Blacks by focusing on smoking as a familywide issue.
Abstract
We report a replication of a 1996 study on the role of acculturation in smoking among African American adults. Results with the current sample were nearly identical to the prior ones: smokers tended to be traditional and nonsmokers acculturated, with nearly 70% of Black smokers in both studies being highly traditional in their cultural orientation. Given that coming from a highly traditional Black family was a strong predictor of smoking in both studies, we suggest that new smoking prevention and cessation programs might be culturally tailored for Blacks by focusing on smoking as a familywide issue.

It is concluded that smoking prevalence is decreasing across all race-gender groups, although at a slower rate for women than men, and that differences in initiation, more than cessation, are primarily responsible for the converging of smoking prevalence rates among men and women.

It is not possible to determine from this study whether cigarette advertising is the cause of the differences in preference of cigarette brands between white and black smokers, but future research focusing on understanding the reasons for cigarette brand preferences may provide ideas for anti smoking campaigns aimed at specific target groups.

The relationship between acculturation and cigarette smoking among African Americans was examined and it was revealed that African American smokers were more traditional (less acculturated) than their nonsmoking counterparts, irrespective of gender, and that accULTuration was a better predictor of smoking than status variables such as income and education.
