The word 'cotinine' is an anagram of 'nicotine'. It is used to measure the grade of tobacco smoking, but might also improve mental function. Measure of smoking Cotinine has an in vivo half life of approximately 20 hours, and is typically detectable for several days to up to one week after the use of tobacco. The level of cotinine in the blood is proportionate to the amount of exposure to tobacco smoke, so it is a valuable indicator of tobacco smoke exposure, including secondary passive smoke. People who smoke menthol cigarettes may retain cotinine in the blood for a longer period.1 Race may also play a role, as black people routinely register higher blood cotinine levels than white people.2 Several variable factors, such as menthol cigarette preference and puff size, suggest that the explanation for this difference may be more complex than gender or race. Drug tests can detect cotinine in the blood, urine, or saliva. Mental function There is some research being done on the effects of cotinine on memory and cognition. Some studies have suggested that cotinine as well as nicotine improves memory and prevents neuron death. For this reason it has been studied for effectiveness in treating schizophrenia, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases3. There is research, however, which also suggests that nicotine and cotinine contribute to Alzheimer's disease in other ways which counter and maybe even negate the possible positive effects they might have, and as such, the matter is still debatable.4 References ^ Ham, Becky 2002-12-16.
