Developing a brief measure of smoking in the home: description and preliminary evaluation
Article Abstract:
Ambient nicotine concentration in households in which someone smoked were quantified using a passive nicotine monitor to evaluate the effectiveness of the Household Smoking Questionnaire in measuring environmental tobacco smoke exposure. The findings support the effectivity of the questionnaire due to the high correlation between the indoor smoking assessed and the nicotine levels measured. The evaluated indoor smoking was found to linearly vary with respect to the nicotine levels.

Article Abstract:
