Abstract
An LC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous quantification of nicotine, cotinine, trans-3'-hydroxycotinine and norcotinine in human plasma was developed and fully validated. Potential endogenous and exogenous interferences were extensively evaluated and limits of quantification were determined by decreasing analyte concentration. Analytical ranges were 1-500 ng/mL for nicotine and cotinine, 5-500 ng/mL for trans-3'-hydroxycotinine and norcotinine. Mean intra- and inter-assay analytical recoveries were between 101.9 and 116.8%, and intra- and inter-assay imprecision were less than 11% RSD for all analytes: parameters were evaluated at three different concentrations across the linear range of the assay. Extraction efficiency was > or = 70% for all analytes. This validated method is useful for the determination of nicotine and metabolites in human plasma to support research on the role of nicotine biomarkers on neuronal systems mediating cognitive and affective processes and to differentiate active, passive and environmental exposure.

Abstract
Different negative effects of smoking are known (e.g. postoperative complications), which lead, especially in plastic surgery, to unsatisfactory results. The aim of this study was to examine the appropriateness of a cotinine enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for routine usage in operative disciplines. By correlation of smoking habits and concentration of cotinine in serum and urine, we tried to ascertain reference values for smokers, passive smokers and non-smokers. The reliability and sensitivity of the cotinine ELISA concerning nicotine exposure need to be proven. 165 (108 men, 57 women) test persons were examined by detecting cotinine in serum and urine by ELISA. The study shows a very good sensitivity, precision and reproducibility of the cotinine ELISA according to the laboratory criteria. The test shows significance of a good differentiation between smokers, passive smokers and non-smokers in urine. In serum, cotinines are excellent to differentiate between smokers and non-smokers/passive smokers. Urine and serum tests demonstrate valid and comparable results.

Abstract
The authors describe a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry method for the measurement of nicotine in human plasma. Samples (500 microL) with added deuterium-labeled d3-nicotine as an internal standard (IS) were treated with a 2-step process of ether extraction (6 mL) followed by back-extraction into 0.1% formic acid (50 microL). Chromatography was performed on a phenyl Novapak column with a mobile phase consisting of 50% 10 mM ammonium formate (pH 3.3) and acetonitrile (50:50, vol/vol). A flow rate of 0.2 mL/min resulted in a total analysis time of 5 minutes per sample. Mass spectrometric detection was by selected reactant monitoring (nicotine m/z 163.2 --> 130.2; IS m/z 166.2 --> 87.2). The assay was linear from 0.5 to 100 microg/L (r > 0.993, n = 9). The accuracy and imprecision of the method for quality control samples were 87.5% to 113% and <10.2%, respectively. Interday accuracy and imprecision at the limit of quantification (0.5 microg/L) was 113% and 7.2% (n = 4). The process efficiency for nicotine in plasma was >75%. The method described has good process efficiency, stabilized nicotine, avoided concentration steps, and most importantly minimized potential contamination. Further, we have established that water-based standards and controls are interchangeable with plasma-based samples. This method was used successfully to measure the pharmacokinetic profiles of subjects involved in the development of an aerosol inhalation drug delivery system.

Abstract
Nicotine metabolism is exceedingly sensitive to perturbation by numerous host factors. To reduce the large variations and discrepancies in the literature pertaining to nicotine metabolism, investigators in future studies need to recognize and better control these host factors. Recent advances in the understanding of nicotine metabolism have suggested new approaches to elucidating underlying mechanisms of certain toxic effects associated with cigarette smoking.

Abstract
A rapid and sensitive capillary gas-chromatographic method with nitrogen-sensitive detection is reported for the simultaneous analysis of nicotine and cotinine levels occurring in the plasma, saliva, and urine of regular tobacco smokers. The proposed assay has a linear output, has satisfactory accuracy over the range of concentrations of both amines encountered in active smokers, and has also been successful in the analysis of the urine samples of passive smokers. Its lower limit of sensitivity is 0.2 ng of nicotine and 0.5 ng of cotinine per ml of plasma or saliva or per 100 microliters of urine. The beneficial characteristics of the presented method were achieved by the combination of solid phase extraction of 0.1-1.0 ml of fluid specimens, capillary column gas chromatography with splitless injection and nitrogen sensitive detection, and the use of separate, structurally analogous compounds as internal standards for nicotine. The suitability of the assay is shown by plasma concentration-time curves of nicotine and cotinine in a steady smoker during a 24 hours period.

Abstract
Adult female rats were chronically treated with nicotine administered via the drinking water during pregnancy and/or lactation. The approximate doses of nicotine consumed per day were 2.4 mg/kg and 4.5 mg/kg of body weight. The pups were weaned at 20 days of age. The pups were killed by decapitation on postnatal days 20, 30, or 40 and plasma from heparinized trunk blood was assayed for luteinizing hormone (LH). At 30 days of age untreated male and female offspring had the highest levels of plasma LH compared to 20 and 40 days of age. This level was not affected by any subsequent dose or treatment. Prepubertal females exposed to nicotine during pregnancy failed to exhibit the pattern of LH levels seen in control animals, whereas those exposed during lactation or throughout the perinatal period showed a distinctive pattern of plasma LH. Chronic exposure of female offspring to the low dose of nicotine during lactation tended to increase plasma LH levels at 20 and 40 days. Female offspring exposed to nicotine during pregnancy or to the low dose during lactation showed significant deficits in body weight at 40 days of age which appeared to correlate with a delay in vaginal opening. The results suggest that perinatal exposure to maternally administered nicotine may disrupt normal patterns of LH release in the offspring of both sexes and alter sexual development in female offspring.

Abstract
Theories on tobacco addiction divide into two camps, the exposure orientation and the adaptive orientation. The exposure orientation suggests that the use of tobacco is addictive because of the reinforcement properties of tobacco or because of tobacco's biochemical-altering effects. The adaptive orientation views tobacco addiction as a functional response to distress and, therefore, a form of sub-optimal adaptive behavior. Though the two views are not mutually exclusive, the case is made that the primary cause of addiction is explained by the adaptive orientation, and not the exposure orientation. Viewing not only tobacco addiction but all addictions from the adaptive orientation suggests different approaches to social policy and psychotherapy than those presently espoused by the exposure orientation.

Abstract
Measurement of the absorption of cigarette smoke constituents were compared with self-reported daily consumption from 450 smokers to determine the most reliable dose dependent indicator of smoke inhalation and risk for coronary heart disease. A plateau of plasma nicotine and cotinine concentration at levels above 20 cigarettes per day with a continued increase of carboxyhemoglobin and thiocyanate with increasing consumption of cigarettes occurred. Classification of smokers into groups smoking cigarettes yielding more or less than 1 mg nicotine showed that smokers of low yield brands had lower plasma levels of nicotine and cotinine, but comparable levels of carboxyhemoglobin and thiocyanate. Plasma nicotine bore no relationship to smoke inhalation, while the number of cigarettes consumed per day showed a weak correlation to smoke inhalation. Despite the lower nicotine yield of cigarettes, modification in smoking behaviour enabled the smoker to derive as much carbon monoxide and thiocyanate constituents from low and high yield cigarettes; thus counteracting the advantage of low nicotine yield brands. The relationship of these parameters to the risk of coronary heart disease is discussed.

Abstract
The acute airway response to smoking varying numbers (one to four) of identical cigarettes in rapid succession and smoking single cigarettes of differing tar/nicotine yields was assessed repeatedly in 13 healthy smokers. The airway response was variable, indicating airway narrowing consistently in only three subjects. There appeared no difference between forced spirometry and measurement of airway resistance in detecting the airway response. No relationship was observed between the airway response and amount of smoke inhaled into the lungs as measured either by changes in venous blood nicotine or percentage carboxyhaemoglobin. When five smokers inhaled smoke directly from a cigarette acute airway narrowing was consistently observed. A normal smoking pattern consisting of an initial drag of smoke into the mouth, followed after a pause by inhalation of smoke diluted with air, did not consistently cause airway narrowing although similar amounts of smoke as the direct drag were inhaled as assessed by changes in venous blood nicotine. The manner of smoke inhalation affects the relative concentrations of the different constituents of smoke reaching the lungs and also appears to be the main determinant of the acute airway response to smoking, which was unrelated to the number of cigarettes smoked or the tar content of the smoke. This suggests that patterns of smoke inhalation may influence the pathogenesis of bronchial disease associated with smoking.

Abstract
Conjugates between bovine serum albumin and (R,S)-2-aminonicotine were produced, and these conjugates were employed in rabbits and goats for the production of nicotine antibodies. In the assay of nicotine, an 125I-tyrosine methyl ester derivative of (R,S)-6-aminonicotine was employed as radioligand. The antibody-bound derivative was separated from the free derivative by charcoal adsorption (0.5% charcoal, 0.1% dextran T-70, 0.1% bovine serum albumin pH 7.3). Among the twenty five nicotine derivatives and metabolites examined, (R,S)-6-aminonicotine gave the highest cross-reaction. Cross-reaction with cotinine, a major mammalian metabolite of nicotine, was less than 0.1% for both the rabbit-derived and goat-derived antisera. Cross-reaction by other metabolites, such as (S)-nicotine-N'-oxide, (S)-nornicotine, and N-methylpyrrolidine was less than 1%. The antibodies produced were thus highly specific to nicotine. The radioimmunoassay for nicotine showed a maximum sensitivity of 10 ng/ml in 50-microliter plasma samples for both antisera. After the smoking of a single cigarette (1.2 mg nicotine content in mainstream) the peak of blood plasma level of nicotine in the subjects varied from 20--104 ng/ml, and high levels of nicotine were not necessarily found in heavy smokers.

Abstract
We have developed an automated nonequilibrium procedure for the radioimmunoassay of nicotine. The use of a unique iodinated nicotine derivative in this procedure gave a sensitivity of 10 micrograms/l for nicotine with a between-run precision of 7.4% and within-run precision of 6.0%. Nicotine levels of 60 to 67 micrograms/ml were found in subjects 15 min after smoking one standard cigarette. The technique herein reported is a very rapid, and sensitive radioimmunoassay for nicotine and facilitates the determination of nicotine in smoking subjects during the actual process of smoking.

Abstract
Nicotine was subjected to reaction at 90 degrees with trichloroethyl chloroformate in the presence of pyridine to form a carbamate in which the pyrrolidine ring was opened. Upon heat treatment, this carbamate partially formed the corresponding olefin. About 10 pg could be detected with an electron-capture detector and 60 pg with an alkali flame-ionization detector. The extraction was studied with 14C-labelled nicotine. Methylene chloride was suitable for extraction from diluted plasma, whereas toluene containing 5% of heptafluorobutanol was used in a re-extraction step and also as the chloroformate reaction medium. Due to a nicotine blank the limit for quantitative determinations was 10 ng/ml in plasma (sample volume 1 ml). N-n-Propylnornicotine was used as an internal standard. The precision at the 30 ng/ml level was +/- 8.8% (n = 7).

Abstract
Eight men volunteers each smoked a single cirgarette containing 14C-nicotine and gave arterial blood samples during and for 50 minutes after smoking. The maximum concentration of nicotine in the arterial blood ranged from 31 to 41 mug/l in four regular cigarette smokers who inhaled. Two non-smokers achieved maximum levels of 2 and 4 mug/l. On a separate occasion two of the inhalers received 1 mg. 14C-nicotine in 10 divided doses injected intravenously. In both cases the peak arterial nicotine concentrations bore a similar relationship to the intravenous dose, as did the peak nicotine concentrations to the retained doses during smoking.
