  ABSTRACT: Background The high prevalence of tobacco use in some developing nations, including Bangladesh, poses several public health challenges for these populations. Smoking behavior is determined by both genetic and environmental factors; however, the genetic determinants of smoking behavior have not been previously examined in a Bangladeshi or South Asian population. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of tobacco smoking behavior among a population-based sample of 5,354 (2,035 ever smokers and 3,319 never smokers) men and women in Bangladesh. Methods Genome-wide association analyses were conducted for smoking initiation (ever versus never smokers), smoking quantity (cigarettes per day), age of smoking initiation, and smoking cessation (former versus current smokers).
