On the role of monitoring biomarkers of tobacco consumption and nicotine-containing products in the prevention of smoking among adolescents in a metropolis
Abstract
Transformation of conventional cigarettes into innovative nicotine-containing products (NP) with an elegant design and various flavors is aimed at teenagers and women. The strategy of the state anti-tobacco policy and measures to popularize the culture of health have increased the role of the family in smoking prevention. Objective of the study: evaluation of the effectiveness of monitoring the consumption of tobacco and nicotine-containing products using biomarkers in the prevention of smoking among adolescents in a metropolitan area. Material and methods. To assess the effectiveness of monitoring the consumption of tobacco and nicotine-containing products using biomarkers in the prevention of smoking in adolescents in a metropolitan area. Material and methods: an observational analytical retrospective study was conducted. In the laboratory of OOO «DNKOM» (Moscow), the level of nicotine, cotinine and a biomarker of the effect of ES and vapes were measured in the middle portion of morning urine of adolescents. The analysis was performed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry on an Agilent 6890N instrument with an Agilent 5973N mass-selective detector (USA). Statistical processing was performed using the standard Microsoft Office package, Excel using Student’s t-test, differences were considered significant at p <0.05. Results and discussion. The results of measuring tobacco, ES and vaping biomarkers in the urine of 34 people aged 9–17 years (average age 14.03±0.27 years)…
