Background: Although African Americans (AAs) smoke fewer average cigarettes per day (CPD) than European Americans (EAs), they carry a disproportionate tobacco-related morbidity and mortality burden. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ethnic differences in markers of nicotine addiction, including rates of lifetime nicotine dependence (ND) symptoms, current smoking, and smoking during pregnancy across different levels of peak lifetime cigarette consumption.Methods: Data from 237 EA (N = 118) and AA (N = 119) mothers participating in the Missouri Family Study (2003-2005), an ethnically diverse family study of offspring outcomes in high and low risk families, were used to contrast prevalence of ND symptoms and other smoking behaviors between EA and AA women at low (1-10 CPD), moderate (11-19 CPD), and high (>= 20 CPD) levels of lifetime peak daily cigarette consumption.Results: Compared with EA smokers, AAs had lower lifetime prevalence of DSM-IV ND (68% vs 54%, P < 0.05), consumed fewer CPD during their heaviest lifetime consumption (18% EA vs 58% AA smoked
