| Abstract |
This survey (with an inserted English-language summary) of 322 office workers (71 smokers) showed that while blood nicotine levels were correlated with individual smoking history and/or passive exposure to tobacco smoke, there was no relationship between the results of lung function measurements on one hand and smoking habits or history and blood nicotine levels on the other, except when blood nitotine levels were very high (>1.5mg/kg). The latter finding does not agree with findings elsewhere, possibly because of the high incidence of respiratory infection and the high levels of air pollution in Ankara at the time of the survey. |
