Popis: Objective : The aims of this study were to determine and quantify the influence ofnicotine, applied subcutaneously, in the lungs of rats. Methods : Twenty Wistar rats weighing235–35g were randomly separated in two groups. The group I (n=10) received nicotine ( 2 mg/Kgbody mass/day) during 20 days and the group II (n=10) received placebo subcutaneously. Results :The results illustrate that in the group I resulted bronchopneumonia in 3 (30%) rats, alveolarleucocitosis in 10 (100%), septal leucocitosis in 7 (70%) and atelectasia was found in 2 (20%).Transformed in scores, the data totalized 52 points. The scores of the lesions observed in the lungsof group II rats reached 11 points (p
