Microaggressions linked to smoking urges in latinx study

This study explored whether experiencing subtle racial slights (microaggressions) makes Latinx smokers want to smoke more or makes it harder to quit. Thirty daily smokers who identified as Hispanic or Latino took part. Researchers measured their smoking behavior, withdrawal symptoms, and cravings after being exposed to microaggressions. The goal was to understand how discrimination might affect smoking habits and relapse.
