Little is known of smoking trajectories or of the correlats of smoking trajectories among african american youth. Ninth- grade african american adolescents (n = 566) were interveiwed in year 1 and then were subsequently interveiwed annualy for 3 additional years. Five trajectories of cigarette smokers were identified : abstainers, experimenters / consistent light smokers, accelerators and quitters. Psychlogical well - being at year 1 was lower among consistent regular smokers and accelerators as compared ot abstainers. Variance in other problem behaviours mirrored the smoker trajectories. At year 4, the abstainers and experimenters / consistent light smokers reported greater particiaption in sports activities as compared to the quitters, whereas the abstainers reported greater participation in other school activities as compared to the consistent regular smokers.
