Résumé :
Self reported smoking status has been widely used to assess detrimental health effects of smoking and to orient counselling and other preventive interventions. Self reporting, however, can be unreliable if the subject is under pressure because of social or medical disapproval. Furthermore, the quantity of smoke products actually inhaled and absorbed varies by the manner of smoking. Because of these difficulties, increased emphasis has been placed on measuring exposure through the use of biological markers to provide more accurate estimates of smoking status and of the dose received.
