[Nicotine addiction and environmental tobacco smoke exposure].
In present study it was aimed to determine the general characteristics of cases who cause environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposure. One hundred and forty five cases (53/92, F/M) who admitted to smoking cessation clinic were asked about general demographic characteristics, the history of ETS exposure in childhood and whether they cause of ETS exposure or not.

متن کاملQuestionnaire assessments of recent exposure to environmental tobacco smoke in relation to salivary cotinine.
The increasing evidence of the ill-health effects of environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has prompted the search for accurate measures of exposure to ETS. The present study examined whether it was possible to enhance the ability of questionnaire-derived assessments of ETS exposure, to predict salivary cotinine. Salivary samples were obtained from 258 nonsmoking bank employees, who simultaneously ...
متن کاملExposure to environmental tobacco smoke measured by cotinine 125I-radioimmunoassay.
We describe a polyclonal-antiserum-based 125I-radioimmunoassay for cotinine that is suitable for measuring nonsmokers' passive exposure to tobacco smoke in the environment. The standard curve ranged from 0.25 to 12.0 micrograms/L, with an estimated lower limit of sensitivity of 0.2 microgram/L (95% B/Bo = 0.2 microgram/L; 50% B/Bo = 4.0 micrograms/L). The median within-assay CVs for patients' s...
متن کاملUtility and Cutoff Value of Hair Nicotine as a Biomarker of Long-Term Tobacco Smoke Exposure, Compared to Salivary Cotinine
While hair samples are easier to collect and less expensive to store and transport than biological fluids, and hair nicotine characterizes tobacco exposure over a longer time period than blood or urine cotinine, information on its utility, compared with salivary cotinine, is still limited. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 289 participants (107 active smokers, 105 passive smokers with s...
متن کاملTHEORY AND METHODS Is the hair nicotine level a more accurate biomarker of environmental tobacco smoke exposure than urine cotinine?
