简要总结
The purpose of the study is to quantify the efficacy of hand washing (HW) and ethyl alcohol-based hand sanitizer (S) for third-hand smoke (THS) removal in a sub-sample of non-staff smokers using nicotine wipes on adjacent fingers before and after HW/S.
The hypotheses are that detectable levels of surface nicotine will remain on participants' fingers, regardless of hand washing (HW) and ethyl alcohol-based hand sanitizer (S) attempts and that greater finger levels of surface nicotine will remain after alcohol sanitization compared to hand washing.

研究组 & 干预措施
Hand washing with soap for thirdhand smoke removal
干预措施: 2% Chlorohexidine Gluconate soap (Drug)
Ethyl alcohol-based sanitizer for thirdhand smoke removal
干预措施: 62% ethyl alcohol-based hand sanitizer (Drug)
结局指标
主要结局
Nicotine level on finger #2
时间窗: 5 minutes after hand washing or sanitizing
Nicotine will be sampled from one finger of each participant's dominant hand (thumb, index, or middle finger). Finger will be wiped and nicotine level will be quantified.
Nicotine level on finger #1
时间窗: baseline
Nicotine will be sampled from one finger of each participant's dominant hand (thumb, index, or middle finger). Finger will be wiped and nicotine level will be quantified.
Nicotine level on finger #3
时间窗: 1 hour after hand washing or sanitizing
Nicotine will be sampled from one finger of each participant's dominant hand (thumb, index, or middle finger). Finger will be wiped and nicotine level will be quantified.
