Yes, the smoking of opium in the United States was opposed at least in part because of its association with Chinese immigrants. The anti-opium movement gained momentum in the late 19th century and was fueled in part by racism and the fear of the "Yellow Peril." Opium smoking was seen as a vice of Chinese immigrants and was used to justify discriminatory laws and policies against them.
