Abstract

Examining new correlates of adolescent tobacco use is essential given its prevalence at this age. We investigated how sources of social class discrimination (teacher, classmate, teenager, friend, and community member) related to tobacco use. Our findings indicated that social class discrimination from multiple sources was positively associated with tobacco use.
