In New York City (NYC), the city with the largest Chinese immigrant population in the United States, 28% of Chinese American men smoke compared with 18% of the total NYC men [2]. Chinese immigrants, accounting for 68% of the NYC Chinese American population, are more likely to smoke than US-born Chinese Americans (New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, unpublished data, 2018). Culturally adapted tobacco treatments for Chinese immigrants are sparse [3,4] and the use is low.

This migration pattern has continued, with the African immigrant population growing from 881,000 in 2000 to 2.0 million in 2019, comprising 42% of the US foreign-born Black population.
