摘要
This study demonstrates the suitability of serum thiocyanate as an indicator of tobacco smoke. The median serum level of smokers rises steadily from 51 μmol/liter in nonsmokers to 174 μmol/liter in smokers of more than 20 cigarettes/day. The method can be used in epidemiologic studies of smoking behavior and smoking cessation. To increase the accuracy of predicting smoking habits, this test can be used in conjunction with a determination of expired carbon monoxide. © 1979.
