Behavioral and Physiological Responses to Nicotine Patch Administration Among Nonsmokers Based on Acute and Chronic Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure

Abstract

The findings of this study may be useful in providing preliminary empirical data for future explorations of the mechanism whereby SHS exposure can influence behavioral outcomes in nonsmokers. Such studies can inform future interventions to reduce the physical and behavioral health risks associated with SHS exposure.

A Comparison of Survey Measures and Biomarkers of Secondhand Tobacco Smoke Exposure among Nonsmokers

“…This study was based on secondary, cross‐sectional data from baseline survey questions and biological markers of 11 male and 9 female participants obtained through quota sampling. The aim of the parent study was to examine the effect of prior SHS exposure on the responses to nicotine administration among nonsmokers (Okoli, Kodet, & Robertson, ).…”
