The changes in salivary thiocyanate (SCN) following smoking cessation were determined for 70 people recruited from community-based smoking cessation programs. Data collected over 3 months following cessation showed a half value of 5 days for abstainers, a strong linear relationship between SCN level and number of days since quitting, and considerable individual variation in precessation SCN level. It is concluded that SCN has value as an inexpensive, initial screening test of smoking behavior.
对从社区戒烟项目招募的70人测定了戒烟后唾液硫氰酸盐(SCN)的变化。戒烟后3个月收集的数据显示,戒烟者的半衰期为5天,SCN水平与戒烟后天数之间存在强线性关系,且戒烟前SCN水平存在相当大的个体差异。得出的结论是,SCN作为一种廉价的吸烟行为初步筛查测试具有价值。
