客观的。我们试图了解大量非日常人群的构成。或有一天（SD），吸烟者。方法。我们使用 1998-1999 年当前人口调查烟草使用补充资料分析了描述性统计数据和回归结果，以确定 SD 吸烟者的流行率、他们的社会人口特征以及根据 SD 吸烟时间和稳定性区分的群体的吸烟模式和历史。结果。 SD 吸烟者占当前吸烟者总数的 19.2%。在 SD 吸烟者中，44.6% 的人至少 1 年吸烟量少于每日吸烟量，不超过 14.4% 的人刚刚开始吸烟，其余的人可能正在过渡。总体而言，SD 吸烟者每月平均吸 102 支香烟（相比之下，每天吸烟者为 566.4 支），在过去 30 天中平均吸 14.5 天。结论。 SD 吸烟者占吸烟人口的很大一部分。他们不仅仅是开始吸烟，也不是试图戒烟。许多人已经养成了长期非日常吸烟的习惯，在吸烟的日子里吸的烟相对较少。正如人们所预料的那样，他们并不比经常吸烟的人年轻得多。
Objective. We sought to understand who constitutes the sizable population of nondaily. or some-day (SD), smokers.Methods. We analyzed descriptive statistics and regression results using the 1998-1999 Current Population Survey Tobacco Use Supplement to determine the prevalence of SD smokers, their sociodemographic characteristics, and the smoking patterns and histories of groups differentiated by the length and stability of their SD smoking.Results. SD smokers make up 19.2% of all current smokers. Among SD smokers, 44.6% have smoked less than daily for at least 1 year, no more than 14.4% are just starting to smoke, and the rest are likely in transition. Overall, SD smokers smoked a mean of 102 cigarettes per month (compared to 566.4 for daily smokers), on an average of 14.5 days out of the past 30.Conclusions. SD smokers make up a substantial segment of the smoking population. They are not just beginning to smoke nor trying to quit. Many have developed a longstanding pattern of nondaily smoking, smoking relatively few cigarettes on the days when they do smoke. They are not substantially younger than daily smokers, as one might expect.
