Cigarette smoke extract does not adversely influence the growth of oral pathogens. P gingivalis 33277 (top left), F nucleatum (top right), and F alocis (bottom) growth in control (○) and CSE‐conditioned (2000 ng/ml nicotine equivalents) media (□) was monitored spectrophotometrically at OD 600nm. Data are presented as mean values ± standard deviations. CSE exposure did not have a statistically significant influence on bacterial growth characteristics, as determined by ANOVA
