Apart from filtered cigarettes, unfiltered nicotine is also smoked (beedi, cigar etc) throughout the country and especially in the rural settings. Among the other places that should have been selected for such kind of evaluation of nicotine in the air are the apartments. With growing apartment culture, where the concentration of people is more at a given area, high nicotine in the atmosphere if present may cause serious health hazards. Public parks, gardens and the places where people go for walks for want of fresh air may also be considered as potential areas for exposure to second hand smoke (SHS) and should be measured for the presence of nicotine in the air.
In conclusion it must be noted that although a law has been passed long ago that prohibits smoking in public places, enforcement has not achieved 100% due to the failure of both the public and the government which is mainly attributed to ignorance of the legislature. Extensive advertisement and heavy punishment could contribute to nicotine free atmosphere. Also studies involving estimation of levels of atmospheric nicotine must be encouraged and effective measures must be initiated to control nicotine use in different forms so as to avoid the health care costs associated with the resultant long term

The tests performed by Schober et al. consisted of an aerated room with nine subjects. All subjects smoked infrequently and claimed to be healthy at the time of testing. The subjects were asked to use the electronic cigarettes, in the room provided, in order to collect and analyze their expiration contents with several machines. Subjects were also asked to provide urine samples before the test and for 24 hours afterwards. Having collected data, it was found by Schober et al. that “Nicotine levels were on average 22% above the manufacturers declaration of 18 mg/mL” which shows the current lack of
