This test kit measures your cotinine level
Cotinine is the metabolite of nicotine, produced by the body after exposure to nicotine, a chemical commonly found in tobacco. High cotinine levels will be found in smokers. People who are exposed to secondhand smoke for a long period of time will also have increased cotinine levels in their body.
Cotinine is formed as a major metabolite of nicotine after tobacco smoking. The average half-life of cotinine is 19 hours.
It can be detected in plasma, urine, and saliva. Cotinine is also formed in the body after intake of some vegetables (e.g., eggplant, tomato, and green pepper) primarily of the family solanaceae. These vegetables contain nicotine as their natural defense mechanism against fungi, bacteria, insects, and animals.
A high level of cotinine may increase the chance of getting lung cancer, heart disease, and stroke. People should consider reducing the exposure time in the second-hand smoking environment when non-smoker users have an unusual elevation in the cotinine value. We suggest everyone monitor their cotinine level to be aware of one’s health risks.
Cotinine level measurement
Our test is an easy way to self-test your cotinine levels by monitoring the cotinine levels in saliva.
Smoking tests can help to provide the individuals with evidence of the significant smoking residual to prompt for immediate reaction.
