Mattsson K, Kolleén K, Rignell-Hydbom A, Lindh CH, Jensson BAG, Gustafsson P, et al. Cotinine Validation of self-reported smoking during pregnancy in the Swedish Register of Medical Births. Nicotine Tob Res. 2016;18:79-83. Smoking status was declared itself, with smokers having never smoked more than 99 cigarettes in their lifetime, former smokers smoking 100 or more cigarettes in their lifetime but currently «not smoking at all,» and current smokers who had smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime and were currently smoking «every day» or «a few days.» Menthol smoking status was also declared himself, evaluated with the article, «The cigarettes you have most often smoked with menthol in the last 30 days?» Smokers who responded positively to this question were then asked: «If the government banned the use of menthol in cigarettes, how could it affect your smoking? Would you switch to a non-menthole brand or are you trying to quit smoking? The answer choices were «switch to a non-menthol brand,» «try to quit,» «both switch to a non-menthol brand and try to quit smoking» and «don`t know.» In order to assess the FDA`s views on the regulation of menthol in cigarettes, all participants were asked to accept «strongly,» «not to accept or oppose,» «not to accept,» «not to oppose» or «not to know» in response to the following statement: «The aroma of menthol in cigarettes should be prohibited.» In the «RHINE III – Women`s Questionnaire,» mothers` report on their own smoking status during pregnancy was identified by the question: «During this pregnancy (tick if yes)… Did you smoke? Mothers` relationship on their own smoking status during pregnancy was dichotomized after smoking or not, and correct pregnancy (in siblings) was identified during the year of birth of the offspring. The sensitivity to the correct state of smoke of parents in children (0-10 years) is 0.82 (IC 95% 0.81-0.84), specificity was 0.82 (IC 0.81- 0.84%) 95 (IC 95% 0.95-0.96) and a good match was observed: 0.79 (IC 95% 0.78-0.81) (Table 2). The ratio of offspring to the mother`s smoking status during pregnancy showed a lower sensitivity of 0.66 (IC 95% 0.60-0.71) and a slightly less specificity of 0.92 (2 2 2 95% of AI 0.90-0.95) compared to infant analysis and good agreement: 0.61 (IC 95% 0.55-0.67) (Table 2). People should have more respect for others. They say it is our choice, but it is not.
I have asthma and I have to drive almost an hour to the nearest grocery store, there are so many people smoking at the door without remembering how damaging it is to others. There are young children with underdeveloped lungs who inspire all this smoke from others. Also, most people (not all) only cigarettes wherever they feel. I can`t tell you how many times someone threw cigarettes in my yard bc that they made with. If they do not ban cigarettes, at least make special garbage cans for them, so that it stops the waste. Cigarettes are still hot when I take them to throw them away properly; which could be lit by a fire. Everything as a whole is a bad habit of smoking and has had many negative effects on people. Not only does it harm other innocent people, but it also reduces their effectiveness at work.
