A total of 27 smokers and 92 nonsmokers were analyzed for salivary thiocyanate and ionizable iodine concentrations. Smoking statistically increased the amount of thiocyanate and decreased that of iodine in the saliva samples significantly. Male smokers. had significantly more thiocyanate and less ionizable iodine in saliva than female smokers.
