The use of a biomarker is mandatory for quantitative analysis of exposure to secondhand smoke (SHS). This article summarizes urinary biomarkers of smoke exposure which can be now quantified. The most reliable urinary biomarkers to assess the exposure to SHS are NNAL 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol and NNAL-Glucuronides, which is metabolites of tobacco-specific nitrosamine. These substances were detected even in 50% of children who had undetectable level of cotinine (
