To describe the tobacco industry's relationships with and influence on homeless and mentally ill smokers and organisations providing services to them.
Analysis of internal tobacco industry documents and journal articles.
The tobacco industry has marketed cigarettes to the homeless and seriously mentally ill, part of its "downscale" market, and has developed relationships with homeless shelters and advocacy groups, gaining positive media coverage and political support.
Tobacco control advocates and public health organisations should consider how to target programmes to homeless and seriously mentally ill individuals. Education of service providers about tobacco industry efforts to cultivate this market may help in reducing smoking in these populations.

烟草控制倡导者和公共卫生组织应考虑如何针对无家可归者和患有严重精神疾病的个体开展项目。向服务提供者宣传烟草行业开拓这一市场的举措,可能有助于减少这些人群中的吸烟行为。
