Nymox's TobacAlert Product Attracts World-Wide Attention
Thursday February 5, 11:33 am ET
MAYWOOD, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 5, 2004--Nymox Pharmaceutical Corporation (NASDAQ: NYMX - News) announced today that its TobacAlert(TM) product has garnered attention from the press and news services around the world, including in the U.S., Great Britain, France, Italy and Canada, following a January 19, 2004 story about TobacAlert(TM) by Avram Goldstein in the Washington Post and a subsequent January 25 story by Charles Laurence in the Sunday Telegraph in London. TobacAlert(TM) offers concerned individuals an accurate and cost-effective method of determining whether a person has been exposed to second-hand smoke. TobacAlert(TM) is an easy to use urine test that can be done at home and requires no instruments to use.
Both stories highlighted TobacAlert(TM)'s ability to detect second-hand smoke exposure. The reporter for the Telegraph confirmed the effectiveness of the test by testing himself after two hours in a smoky New York cigar club - the result: positive for second-hand smoke exposure.
"TobacAlert(TM) allows people to get answers about possible second-hand smoke exposure quickly, accurately and easily," said Dr. Michael Munzar of Nymox. "With the high level of concern around the world about second-hand smoke, we are delighted to see the interest in a revolutionary new product like TobacAlert(TM)."
TobacAlert(TM) retails for a suggested retail price of $14.99 and is available in selected CVS Pharmacies and on-line through CVS at www.cvs.com and through drugstore.com at www.drugstore.com . More information about ToabacAlert(TM) is available at www.tobacalert.com .

Yup. I see this "technology" being used as a rationale to ban smoking in the outdoors, parks, etc.

"The reporter for the Telegraph confirmed the effectiveness of the test by testing himself after two hours in a smoky New York cigar club - the result: positive for second-hand smoke exposure."In other news...the same Telegraph reporter was able to confirm the presence of burning meat at a near by bar-b-que joint.
News as it happens...back to you Bob.

Oh my God,this is too funny for words.

It's a urine test for cotinine - if you happen to enjoy eating fruits and vegetables from the nightshade family you will have cotinine in a urine sample.
this is a total crock of barbra streisand.
this people have gotten so out of hand as to have started beoming laughable by even non-smokers.

I could quit smoking in my house tomorrow and never take my daughter where smoking is permitted and she would still show levels of cotinine in a sample because a very large part of the diet in our household consists of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant and other members of the nightshade family.
This is just so much bogus bullcrap.........

"What do you do with the information once you have it? " I dunno, but I'm stocking up on these kits. Will lock em up and will them to my great grandkids. When they open them up in a hundred years or so, they'll get a kick out of a little piece of history when men were men and sheep peed on little chemical strips and wonder what all the hubbub was all about.

I don't get it. What do you do if someone comes up positive for 2nd hand smoke? Kill them? Well no, If someone comes up positive for SHS they should kill themselves because as we all know SHS is more deadly than Plutonium so if they are exposed they are going to die anyhow.
On their webpage this is what it should be used for
NicAlert™ can help:
* Smokers and family members to get a more accurate measure of their smoking
* Parents to check whether their teenaged children are smoking
* Teachers and high school coaches to test high school athletes for smoking or other tobacco product use;
* To verify smoking status for insurance applications
* To test subjects in tobacco research studies.
