Abstract
- The article studies whether higher CYP2A6 activity results in the smoker extracting more nicotine and being exposed to higher levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamine and pyrene. The authors conducted a cross-sectional study of smokers among three main ethnic groups in Hawaii. The authors report that the nicotine metabolite ratio was higher in Whites than in Japanese and intermediate in Hawaiians.
