Methods: We measured vapor-phase nicotine concentrations in a convenience sample of 45 private cars from Spain (N = 30) and the UK (N = 15) in 2017-2018. We recruited non-smoking drivers (n = 20), smoking drivers who do not smoke inside the car (n = 15), and smoking drivers who smoke inside (n = 10). Nicotine, cotinine, and three TSNAs (NNK, NNN, NNA) were also measured in settled dust in a random subsample (n = 20). We computed medians and interquartile ranges (IQR) of secondhand smoke (SHS) and thirdhand smoke (THS) compounds according to the drivers' profile. Results: 24-h samples yielded median airborne nicotine concentrations below the limit of quantification (LOQ) (IQR:5 p.application/pdfengcc by-nc-nd (c) Continente, Xavier et al., 2023http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/NicotinaNitrosaminesNicotineNitrosaminesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article2023-10-16info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess37474087
