Cigarette smoking interacts with the urinary arsenic profile to modify the risk of urothelial carcinoma. NNK (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanone) and its metabolite NNAL (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanol) are biomarkers for cigarette smoking exposure. We explored the joint effects of urinary NNK metabolites and arsenic species
