Abstract

The numbers of deaths attributed by tobacco smoking have remarkably increased, reflecting the smokingpatterns of previous decades. Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increases the prevalence of bothupper and lower respiratory tract illnesses. Self-reports of direct and indirect smoking may not always bereliable in questionnaire method used epidemiology. A number of biochemical makers have been used tovalidate claims of indirect smoking among which the most widely used specific markers has been thenicotine metabolite cotinine. This study was conducted to evaluate the cotinine levels to determine smokingstatus. Biomoitoring to assess the validity of questionnaire method found that sensitivity and specificitycoefficients of around 100% and 100% in direct smokers. On the other hand, sensitivity and specificitycoefficients were 56.74% and 47.26%, respectively. This results suggest that indirect smoking status shouldbe assessed by biomonitoring such as cotinine levels.
