Although minority populations suffer a disproportionately higher burden of tobacco-attributable morbidity and mortality, the church appears to be a promising avenue through which to pursue tobacco-cessation interventions in these communities. This report describes church-related correlates of tobacco use among the Lumbee Indians in North Carolina, a population with a high prevalence of tobacco use, strong ties to tobacco-related agriculture, and high levels of church participation.
