Abstract: We examine the extent to which assimilation and residential ethnic enclaves are associated with immigrant access to smoking†related fringe benefits. In particular, we consider access to office smoking bans and employer†sponsored smoking cessation programs. We first document differences in access to these benefits between immigrant and native workers. Second, we show that assimilation is positively associated with smoking†related fringe benefit access while enclave residence does not predict access. These findings broaden our understanding of immigrant employment.
