Introduction: One major determinant of external validity is the representativeness of the sample. This article provides data to help authors and readers assess the generalizability of samples from smoking studiesMethods: We analyzed the 2007 U. S. National Health Interview Survey.Results: We provide means, SEMs, and 95% CIs for demographic and smoking behavior characteristics of never-smokers, ever-smokers, all current smokers, current daily smokers, current nondaily smokers, long-term ex-smokers, and smokers who made a quit attempt in the last year.Discussion: Our results can help studies assess generalizability, set targets for recruitment, or reweigh data to reflect U. S. averages.
