A group of smokers who had participated in smoking-related studies three to six years earlier were re-studied to assess changes in their smoking practices. Individuals who smoked the same brands of cigarettes showed no change in plasma cotinine (reflecting exposure to nicotine) or expired carbon monoxide (CO) concentration. Those who switched to cigarettes of lower nicotine yield (average decrease 38 per cent) showed reduced plasma cotinine concentrations, due primarily to smoking fewer cigarettes per day. The intake of nicotine per cigarette was not different. Subjects who smoked cigarettes of higher yield (102 per cent increase) had higher cotinine and CO levels, due to greater intake per cigarette.
一组在三到六年前参与过吸烟相关研究的吸烟者接受了重新研究,以评估他们吸烟习惯的变化。吸同一品牌香烟的个体,其血浆可替宁(反映尼古丁暴露情况)或呼出一氧化碳(CO)浓度没有变化。那些转而吸尼古丁含量较低香烟(平均降低38%)的人,血浆可替宁浓度降低,主要原因是每天吸烟量减少。每支香烟的尼古丁摄入量没有差异。吸尼古丁含量较高香烟(增加102%)的受试者,由于每支香烟的摄入量更大,其可替宁和CO水平更高。
