Effect of SSW smoke on wound closure. Mice were wounded with a 5 μm biopsy punch, pictures were taken at 5 and 7 days with 7.5× magnification. The areas of the wounds were quantified using Scion Image Software. By 7 days, the wounds of the control animals were approximately 95% closed whereas SSW wounds were only 85% closed. Data show the results of two representative experiments.
