Cotinine as a biomarker of systemic nicotine exposure in spit tobacco users
Article Abstract:
The correlation between nicotine and cotinine concentrations is studied to examine the utility of cotinine as a biomarker for systemic nicotine exposure in spit tobacco (ST) users. It was concluded that cotinine should not be used for guiding clinical decisions that depend upon a precise quantification of systemic nicotine exposure such as tailored nicotine replacement therapy.
