All model covariates as assessed at the post-diagnosis time period. All analyses were weighted (post-diagnosis weight) and adjusted for complex sampling design using SAS 9.2. Statistically significant racial/ethnic differences in smoking change are bolded. Binary models estimate post-diagnosis smoking behavior controlling for pre-diagnosis status
