Abstract
The article presents a study that aims to describe beliefs regarding the influence of genetic and environmental factors on tobacco use among African Americans and to identify factors that are independently associated with these beliefs. The results of the study suggest that African Americans believe that biological factors such as genes play a limited role in tobacco use behaviors. The sociodemographic factors are important to beliefs about tobacco use among African Americans.
