PA~T= 3: THE EFFECT OF CICAR£TT£ ~fOF.TNG
(Report No. 2D, i164-K)
.... H
The effects of c~Karette 8mokLnK on electrical activity in the
brain, measured by electroencephalography (EEG), are. being investigated
as part of • study of the interactions between the smoker and the c£8aret~e.
One index of brain acttTlty vhich hu been measured is the con~nKenc
neaative variation (C~q). or expeccan~ wave. The GqV is a slow potential
shift ~n the baseline EEG which occurs ~n the interval between two
stimuli (such as noises or l~ght fIashes), £f the second one requites
a decision or ~Clon by the subject.
The meEnltude of the CNV was determined a number of times before
and after each subject smoked a cigarette. Some smokers showed m~ increase
and others • decrease after they had smoked.
This divergence of ~esponse can be interpreted in two different
ways. Nicotine (~lich has been assumed to be the main phsrmacolo$ieally
active component in s~ke) way act in • bi-phu~c mr, either ~s a
st£mulant (CNV ~ncrease) or • depressant (CMV dec=me). Rm~ver, nicot[ne
could act only as • st~nulan~ and the direction of chanse in O~V ma81~tuda
would depend en~rely on the level of activity in the brain before smoking,

Although the method of analysis of our results is more ~gorous
than ~hat used by other workers in this fleld It can be L1proved on
by the usa o£ • large computer. This ere complex analysls £$ now bein@
carried out and it is hoped that it rill yleld further si~j~ficant
results, which will be reported later.
The final results of this and future experLmente may help to
elucidate the mode of action of nicotine durlns emoklnl. One ¢uz~rent
hypoChes£s is that smokLnS may wss£st some people to Opt/~.se the level

The ~europhys£olog£cal or£K£n of scalp recorded CNV is thought
to involve both cortical sad sub-cortical mechanisms. Xc ham been
concluded by WalCer (2) ChaC CNV reflects slow elecCrlcal acCLv~Cy

has also been found (4) thaC slov negative poCent£als on Ohm cortex
result from electrical scimulac£on of the m~d-bra~n recicula: £ormac£on
of animals.

In vie~ of the factors Co which the CNV has been related (e.K.
arousal and attenclon) ic would be expected chac mo~e pharmacologically-
active aKencs u~KhC have an effect on the magulCude of the C~V. This
has been confirmed by a number of experiments (10, 11). AlthouKh the
resulr~ are not unequivocal, the Keneral eonclus£on is that ar~mJlants
e.g. caffeine, cause an increase in CNV masnitude while depressants
e.K. nltrazep~m cause a decrease. It has area been ~eported that carbon
monoxLde (at concentrations of 50-150 ppm) can causes decrease in
OgV m&n~tude (12).

represented a cross-sectlon of the scarf of the Centre v[ch regard
to occupation, age and personality (ms assessed by the Eysenck ~erso~aIity

Before amok/=8, each subject completed three series of C24V'E,
scarring ac five n~nuce /nCervals. The subject then 8moked one cigarette,
and smok£ng parameters were recozded using the smoki~K analFser (15).
When the subject had f~n~had his c~garecte, five series of CNV's were
then recorded, asain aC five-mlnuce intervals. Eye movement dur£us
the recording o£ (2;V's was mLn£mised by ask£ug subjects ~ flxaCe on
the p~pil of one of Chair eyes in a mirror. The average of each series
was written out using one channel of the EEG machine. The area of
the averaged Q~V was determined by planimetry. The contribution of
the eye movement: co the CNV was deceTucLned by a method similar
co Chat of Hillyar~ and Calambos (16), and corrected CNVrs were derived.
All subjects completed this 8xperlment and smoked a Benson and HedKes
K.S.F.T. (TPM delivery 27 ,~, Nicoclne deliver7 1.68 rag). The procedure
was repeated d, ree more r~mes for each of four subjects, and the. effects
of smoking Capstan ¥uli Strength (Nicotine dellvery 3.2 mE), Boneyrose
SpecLal (a herbal cigarette containing no nicotine) and of puffing
on an unl£c cigarette were investigated.
~THOD OF ANALYSIS
In Chair analysis Aahcon et a.__~l. (II) cla4mmd Chat smoking s4~ificancly
changed the masniCude of the G~V, which was decreased in soml subjects
and ~creasad in others. They expressed their z~mults as the pIrcantaKe
chanle (increase or decrease) between the first pre-smoklng CNV sarles
and each CNV series after smokLnK.
For our work IC was decided that, in the first instance, smokers
would be divided into two groups, chose showinE an increase in the magnitude
of the CNV after smoking and those showing a decrease. The s[Eulficance

were also analysed by a second marA~od: 1~he ::esult~ ware considered
on an individual basis and the significance of m~y chart@as in the magnitude
of ~hs a~V after smoking was determined.
s£Knificance o£ chanKe8 in the mean ~ maj~£tude before and
after smok~K was calculated for these two Stoups.
RESULTS
Fifteen subjects showed an increase in CNV iKnltude after smoking
a Benson and Hedges K~S.F.T. cigarette. The mean increase was 38Z~
significant at the 95Z confidence level.T Another fifteen subjects
showed a decrease in C~Y magnitude after smoking. However, the mean
decrease was only lOZ,and this was not considered to be significant.
There was a large mnounc of both inter- and incra-gubjecc variatLon.

It has been known for some c£me chmc eye mov~ncs durins the
time in vhich the CNV is beins produced can severely contm~nate the
record£nss obtained (16)o. This is caused by an electrical potential across
the back of the retina, which is detected by the electrodes used to record
the ~V. It has been d4monstrmcsd that involtmCary eye movements durLng

approach was eu~ested by Dr. C~o Binnie (the neurophyslolo~cal consultant

This type of cortect£on ks, of nacess~ty, £a£rly crude but it

The correction of our ~qV mlasura~nts ~or eye movezmnt arte£ac~
has resulted in several negative results. The meaning of these is
not clear since the way in which the CNV's are drawn demands Chat
a cont~ent neKatlve variation be represented by a posLtlve number.
When the complex computer-assisted amalysie of the EEC records
of o~r subjects is completed it is ~nltkely that snomal£as of this
nature will arise. The negative results are probably due to large
corrections being applied, based on traces obtained from the BTO~h~C
laboratory computer vhich was not calibrated £oz larks voltales.
This vould cause inaccuracies in the results obta£ned. In the computer
.analysis, however, any CNV's which ere ~rossly contaminated vith eye
movement potentials can be rejected, and the zemain/~@ responses averaKed.
Our work shows chac smokins can cause • chats• in the CNV magn£tude
of dif£erent individuals. For the majority of our subjects ~4ho shoved
a sCatlstically sIsnlf£cant charge, th~s was an /zscrease.
These results are slm£1ar to chose reported by Ashcon ec a..._.1.
Our zesults, however, are less statlstlcally s~snlfLcant than Chelrs.
Ashton et a__.__~ll, have cl~med, in addition, chat pu££inK on an ux, lit clEar•tie

a~fect some Lndivlduals. The inched of estlmating the magnitude o£
the CgV's was si~Llar in both st~d£es, except tha~ ve have corrected
for eye ~ve~nc ar~afsccs. We therefore believe chat the zssults
of Ashton et a._.~l, can only be realls~ically considered as demons~rat£ns
the eg£ects of s~ok£n~ on the comb£ned ma~n£tudes o£ the CNV and o£
rye movement potential. Consequently it eppure that their conclusions

For ~e majority of our subjects the statis~cally s£~=icant

for these subjects £c follows Chac smoking £s mctinK as a stimulant,
w~th the ~pllcat£on that these subjects were in 8 :elatlvely low, or

$wklng Behavi, our
A~ already ment£oued, Ashton et a l, (ll) found that r.heir more
txtraverted subjects showed ~ :Lnccemse in C~TV ma~tude aisoc~ated with
a slow nlcoClne intake, whereas their more introverted sub~ecCs shoved
a decrease in CNV magnitude associated wlch a faster nicotine intake.. We
therefore decided to examine the smoking dace obtained previously for the
I0 subjects who showed sceC£stically SignLflcanc changes in CNV magnitude
after smoking a Benson and Hedges K.S.F.T. The dace are shown in Table 3.
In vLew of the small number of subjects whose C~V chm~es are
signiflcant, no firm conclusions can be dra~n from Table 3. However,
the results suggest that there is no relationship between smoking bchavlour
and direction of Ch'V change. If this result 4s cqnfix~med in r.ha more
detailed ~alysis, it will be i~ con£1£cc with the £ind£n~ of Ashton
et al.
mmmammammm
Xt ks also proposed Co examine the relationship between personality
and direction of CNV changer thle and a knowledEe of the subjects'
smokin~ behavlour may enable us to sec up a model in which varfous
clusters of smokers nay be dis~nKuished,.

The effect of smoking o~ eye-movement i8 illustrated in Figures 3-7.
These flguces show the changes in electrlcal potentlal due to eye movement,
for me subject, under a vaciecy of conditions. The chanses ace reTaced
to eye m~vement potenClal recorded durin8 the ~rst pre-smoklng CNV
~n. The results are expressed as a percentage change relative to
the eye movement in the first ~qV run (pre-smoklng QqV 1). Zn Figure 3,
whLch shows the effect of smoking a hilh "nicotine dellvery ~4garette
the eye movement has ~creased in pre-emokins C~VSs 2 and 3 but is
considerably ~educed /~=ediately ~tec smoking (Post Smoking CNV's 1,
2 and 3). It changes again (Post smoking CHV'8 & and 5) pcesuma])ly
as the effects o£ r~cot~ne decline. When the subject smoked cigacettes
rich a normal rLicotlne delivery (Figures 4 and S) the eye movements
show a similar pattern to Chose observed when the hizh ~coCine c4garetce
was smoked. However, in these cases the eye movemnt in Post Smokins
3 is large, presumably because the e££ects of smoking have d~n£n£shed
more rapldly. Figure 6 shows a 81m£1ar graph plotted for results obtained
from m~ experiment in which the subject si .mulated smoking. Figure 7
sho~s results obtained vhen the subject smoked a c£~acette vh£ch contained
xw ~cotlne ('Roneyrose' tbsrbal Cigarette). ¥isu~es 6 and 7 do not show
the same type of change in eye movement £mmediaceZy after smoking (or the
simulation o£ smoking) as the others £11uscrsted.
• n addition to examination of eye movement potentiaZ zecorded
p
in ~nterval between the S1 sad $2 sc~mul~, the number of eye movements
~s~ou~houC the CNV 8o~8ion~ h~ve bem~.coun~d. These seem to indicate
that, £oc soma subjects, ac least, there are S~ificanC chaztges in
total eye movement be£ore --~d a~ter smoking.
