The threshold of 20 ng\/mL generally makes it possible to separate passive and active smoking. On the other hand, due to the inter-individual variability and the assimilated quantity, a highly exposed passive smoker may present a positive test and conversely, a very occasional smoker may present a negative test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d89d16;\"><b>WHO SHOULD WE RECOMMEND THE SALIVARY NICOTINE SELF-TEST TO?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For parents who want to monitor their child.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those who wish to follow their progress in quitting smoking.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d89d16;\"><b>PRECAUTIONS FOR USE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not eat, smoke or drink for 10 minutes before taking the test.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This test is intended for external use only.
