At any point on the graph you can take the derivative, which will be tangent to the curve at each point, and its numerical value will be what you can call the instantaneous velocity of that point and you can take the derivative over the derivative and call it the acceleration.

在图上的任意一点,你可以进行求导,得到曲线上每一点的切线斜率,所得到的数值,即为该点处的瞬时速度,然后你再求一次导,得出它的加速度

If you run these curves only on non-smokers you get rid of that J at the end of the curve and you get pretty much a function that's to the right of the curve here.

如果仅在不吸烟人群中做统计,那么左末端就不会出现J形曲线,而是会得到一条,从左到右逐渐上升的完美的函数曲线
