THE EFFECTS OF CHA~GIZqG BRANDS ON SldOKDqG BEHAVZOUR
(Report No. RD.1409 Restr£cted)
SUMMARY
A panel of eight male and eight female smokers were asked to smoke
a med£umn£cotlne dalivery cigarette (1.4 ms) for about four weeks.
During this time Can examples of the smoking patterns were recorded for
each subject, using a smoklnK enalyser. Cigarettes were made freely
available to the subjects throughout the period so that the medium
delivery (control) brand was smoked exclusively.
Half o£ the panel ware then changed Co a "high" n£coc4ne del£ver7
brand (1.8 mg) and half to a "1o~' nicotine delivery brand (Z.O sag). These
c£Karettes were smoked exclusively for the nex~month dur£ng vh£ch time
a further ten repllcatas o£ the smok£n8 patterns of each subject were
recorded.
The £iuaL phase o£ the exper~aaut :Lnvolved all subjects recucn£ng
to the medium delivery brand and recording, over the next month, a
further ten examples o£ the moking patterns.
Analyses of these dace show that all smokers increased the volume
o£ smoke drawn from the low delivery brand and Teduced the amount taken
from the high del£very brand. All groups thus showed a marked degree
of compensation for the changes in delivery.

The number of cigarettes smoked per day did not vary markedly when
smokers changed brands, so compensation for changed deliver7 was essentially
by the way £n which individual cigarettes ware smoked. Subjects used
most of the mechanisms available to them to compensate for the changed
delivery. A notable exception was that the butt lengths discarded when
smoking the low delivery cigarette were longer than from the control
cigarette; this was probably due to the longer tipping paper length on
the low delivery cigarette.
The panel was selected so that half of the smokers (4 female, 4 male)
were o£ high "smoking motivation", as defined by e questionnaire ~ev£sed by
Dr. M.A.H. Russell, and the other half of lower smoklnK motivation. Equal
numbers of high and low motivated male and female smokers smoked each
brand. Subsequent analysis failed to show any dlsnincnions of smoking
pattern or degrees of compensation for changed delivery between the
high and low motivated groups.
Some differences can be seen, however, between male and female
smokers both ~n the way in which the control cigarettes and those of
changed delive~ were smoked.
Analysis, of the smoking patterns measured for the first three
cigarettes and lest three cigarettes smoked in each of the three phases
of this experiment, shows that the changes made to compensate for both
increased and reduced nicotine delivery were maintained for the period
of the test. This suggests that the smokers' demands for nicotine hate
not changed in this period.
The design of this experLment (in which each brand was smoked exclusively
for four weeks) will be used as the basis for future experiments, although
£t may be possible to usa shorter periods of ~ma. The earlier approach
to behsvioural studies (occasional smoking, only in the laboratory) has
bean abandoned.

INTRODUCTION
Zn most parts of the world the de•SEn of cigarettes is being modified
and the dollveries of car (or TPM) and nicotine, as determined by machine
emoklnK, have been declining. Although thfs trend has been particularly
noticeable in recent years, with the introduction of "league*' cable• of
cigarettes ranked by deliveries, the reduction in deliveries has been
going on for some time; e.8. Todd (1)p in a survey of U.K. smoking
patterns records that, compared to some cilarectes of 1935 vintage, the
1973 average was nicotine delivery 47Z and tar delivery 57Z, Such
trends are particularly marked in developed countrles; e.K- in the
U.S.A. c~Karettes with tar deliveries of lOmg or less have been introduced
(Merle (9 m&), Now (2 rag), Carlton (5 m&), Carlton 70 (I rag)) and in
some countries upper llmiCs for car have been voluntarily agreed by
manufacturers.
IC is often assumed by smoker• and implied by ochers that there
are advantages in changing to a brand which offers lover dellver~es of
Car and nicotine and to an increaslnK extent such advice is hero•inK
more expliclt e.g. "Smoke a brand of cigarettes in a lover 'tar' Stoup
than the brand you smoke at present and aim progressively to reduce •till
further" (2). However there ks • considerable body of evidence that:
smokers alter their imoklng behavlour when smoklnE different types of
cigarette. Evidence has been presented (3) that smokers may •how •
degree of compensation for changed nicotine delivery 8o that they attempt,
within llmics,to equalise the nicotine delivery, irrespective of the
effect this might have on the tar and gas phase deliveries. As pointed
out by Russell (4) this means that: compensation for a reduced nicotine
del£very can cause an increase Ln the ~ntake of Car and carbon monoxide.

Much of the evidence for compens•tion, quoted ~n (3), has been
obc&ined under labor•tory conditions and has involved ~omp•rlsons of
s£ngle cigarette saok£ng measurements. It is, however, poss£ble thac a
smoker can change his behaviour with time and become accustomed to a
brand offering higher or lower deliveries, espec£ally if he smokes the
'new' brand exclusively. Thus, ic has been suErs•ted in • U.K. advertising
camp•fEn, by the manufacturers (Call•her) of a low dallvery cisarac~e
(Silk Cuc) that, after 8moltoK ch£s ciKue~ce for three weeks, the smoker
would be convinced of the merits of the product.
In view of the considerations ~isted above, it was decided Co carry
ouC • behavloural experiment of considerably greater scope than any
previous study made at Southampton. Smokers of a medium delivery
cigarette (~ I.A mg nicotine in the U.K. mark•C) would be monitored for
• period of about 1 month and then asked Co smoke, for a aim/lit period,
• brand with a substanCe.aLly different nicotine delivery (~ 0.8 mE for
half of the panel, ~ 1.8 uK for the ocher half of the panel). For the .
final period the smokers would revert to smoklnK the brand dally•tinK
1.4 ~ nicotine.
It is to be expected that there ~s a Kradatlon of demand for nicotine
among smokers. Russell ($) has estimated chat some 20Z of ~nokers are
not particularly interested in nicotine an all. Russell has ass••bred a
e
questlounaire (which he states to be a combination of questions devised
by ocher workers) from which he has sugsesced • relationship between
factors isolated from the replies to the questionnaire and nicoclne
demand. IC therefore seems plaus£ble thac h£Khly motivated smokers (as
defined by Russell's .quesCionnslre) would be the most likely co show a

hiKh degree of co•pens•riot for reduced delivery. The more highly
motiv•ted smokecs u~Lsht •leo be expected to show the more st•ble
maintenance 0£ their h•bit with time when they thanked to • lower delivez7
brand and possibly to show • more precise re,teflon of nicotine intake
th&n the less h£Ehly motivated subjects. The panel was therefore selected
zo contain equal numbers of hi@h and low motivated male and female
smokers.
The objectives of the study ware:
(a) To study the effects o£ oh•need delivery on smoklns pattern.
(b) To study the effects o£ time and thanked dellvery on smoking
pattern.
(c) To study the effects of motivation (ss defined by Russell)
and changed delivery on smoking patten.
EXPERIMENTAL PRECEDUEES
The Panel
The smokers selected for this test were e4Kht male and eiKht female
smokers, •11 of whom had partlc£p•ted in previous experiments in ~h£ch
smokLn@ patterns were recorded. All subjects were thus fmnil£ar with
the •ppacatus, procedures and env£romneuc used by us for such measurements.
After the survey of 81oklng patterns with£n Group 1~. & D. Centre (6),
all smokers completed the Russell Questionnaire concerned v~th smokLn4
motivation (7). The scores for £•ctors ~, (scLmul•t£on smoklng),
V (eddictive 8mokins) and VZ (automatic smokinK) (Russell's teminoloKy)
were used to derive • smoking motivation score. For practical re•sons
it was not possible to select •11 the subjects "with the hiKhast and
lowest motivations, so an element o£ compromise w~s necessary. Two groups

Phase I~
Half of the higher motivated subjecus and half of the lower motivated
subjects chahged to ~he high delivery brand and the remaining subjects
chanSed to the low delivery brand. & further tan smoking pattern
measurements were recorded ~rom all the panel members evenly spaced
tbxouKhout the next four weeks. The changeover was arranged so that the
flrsC example of nhe replacement brand was smoked in the laboratory and
recorded. Cigarettes of the replacement brand were also issued Co the
subjects ad libicum.

A record yes kept of all clgaretces issued throughout the three
phases of this experlm~nC so ChaC some £ndicaClon of changes in cigarette
consumption was available.
When a subject had finished smoking a cigarette in the laboratory
the cigarette holder containing the stub was placed in a tray cont&in4ns
granulated ao1£d carbon dioxide. The length of the buCc was unassured
and recorded.
The ££1ter was then cuc from the c£gerette butt and analysed for
nicot£ne by a GLC method (10).
DATA HANDLING
The smok£ng mnalyser records I00 measurements per second during a
puff; 50 of which are pressure readings and 50 of which are flow readings.
The muounC of data recorded from the 480 records of smoking pattern
occupies over ZOO0 metres of magnetic tape with a packing density of
800 BPI. IC is noC pracC£cal Co axan~ne every facet of such an enormous
amount of data, so the data ware reduced and condensed co 1ore m~naseable
proportlons.
This report ks based on an analysis of the data obtained from
reduced format paper tapes, which have been transposed co separate sheers
of tables and analysed manually. Even this reduced dace sac involves
the mmnlpulaCion of some 2&,OOO basic dace points (ZnCmrval. Volume,
Duration, Total Pressure to Draw Puff, Puff Number, Butt Length and
Hicoc£ne retained in filter tip). After manual calculation of the data

The deEzee of compensation for chanKed delivery of nicotine may be
calculated in the £oIlowlns way:
let Ox ÷ OZZZ be the average measured intake of nicotine in 2
phases I and IXZ.
lec EXZ be the expected in~ake of nicotine in phase IX if that
e£KaretCe had been smoked £n c~e same way as £n phases Z and IlI
(i.e. no compensation for changed delivery).
let OZZ be the measured intake of nlcotine in phase XZ.
Then the percentaKe compensation is defined as:
(Oii -EII)
IOl ;011~- EZT/
X 100 - Z compensation.
where the value of EII is calculated using:
z OI + OllI"
where SII end SI +~II are the deliveries obtained by machine smoking
2
under standard conditions of the particular brands beinE examined.
From the formula to calculate delree of coupensatiou it can be seen
that i£ the observed intake (Ozl) of nicotine in phase 11 ~s equal to the
utinutted (Ezz) /:atake of nicotine the percentese compensation is zero.
Z£ the observed £ncake (Oil) i8 equal to the averale measured intake
dr
(i.e. perfect equalisatiou).
This method has been applied to the daily nicotine intake (delivery
peer eisarette x number of e£Karetcee smoked per da?) and is shown as

DISCUSSION OF R~S~LTS -
It can be seen from Tables 2 and 3 chat, in general, smokers have
sho~n a degree of compensation for changed delivery. The attm~pts to
compensate have £nvolvad almost every mechanism that can be used on a
G
single cigarette. The number of c£garetces smoked per day was not:
changed markedly.
It is also worth noting that the human smokers have taken on average
about twice the volume of smoke from the control clsarette as vould be
taken by a machine operating under standard eondltlons. The interval
between puffs was about half that taken by a machine. Pu£f durations
and the number of puffs drawn v~re also greater for the htuuAn subjects
than the standard s:oking conditions.
l~eference to Table 3, the scaCletical evaluation of these results,
shovs that there vere a fev differences in the way 4n which the male and
female subjects smoked the cigarettes. Generally ~en took a miler
volume of smoke per puff but more puffs per c~a=aCte than men. The
pressure used to drav the puffs was lover; hence the sverage lit draw
resLstance exparienced by female smokers was less than Chat experienced
by male smokers.
The degree of compensation for daily nleot£ne ~ntake (Table &) shove
that the male subjects were closer to equallsaclon vhen smoking the high
delivery cigarette Chart the low delivery cigarette. The female smokers
shoved better regulation of daily nicotine intake for the lov delivery
cigarette than the male subjects but virtually no compensation for the
high dellvery cigarette.
The levels of nicotine drawn from the cigarettes, calculated grom

to be constant, are within the range of deliveries suggested by the
results of Project WHEAT (Ii). Zt should be remembered, however, chat
the results of the present study are object£ve measurements made from
cigarettes smoked by human subjects in a laboratory. The conclusions
drawn from Pro~ect WHEAT are target levels ~Lch should be achieved when
the cigarettes are smoked by a machine under standard conditions. ~,
however, human subjects smoked in a s~ilar manner to the standard
machine smoking conditions, them deliveries would be s4,n£1ar. Zt was
shown previously (6) that the volume og smoke taken by human smokJrs
£rom cigarettes, with a n~¢ot~ne delivmry og 1.68 uS when smoked by
machine, was AO6 ml. This demonstrates that £or clgaret~es with, by
present standards, hlgh nicotine deliveries, human and machine smokir~
need not differ markedly.
Although smokers have increased the intensity o£ smoking the lower
delivery cigarettes and decreased the intensity of smoking the higher
delivery cigarettes, they do not appear to have equelised deIivery vlth
the control ciKarltte. Rowever, the n~cot£ne daliver£es quoted for
these ¢isarettes should only be taken as approximate because It is known
that the velocity of msoke passlng through a filter ~£ects its filtrat£ou
efficiency (12), and the relationship is not linear. If the total
volume of smoke drawn from a clgarette is divided by the coral duration
of the pu£fs an average f£gure for the flow rate can be calculated. For
a cigarette with a diumeter of O.8 um the velocity of the smoke is
(numerically) approximately double the flow rate. Using the averale

standard machine smoklnE conditions. As it is intended to duplicate
representative smokir~ patterns of all the mubjeets used in this teat.
ic is hoped Chac a better esCixuce of actual deliveries to the smoker
will be obtained.
One of the mechanisms by which a smoker mlsht be expected to
compensate for reduced delivery is by smoking a greater number of
cigarettes per day. S4milarly it might be expected that fewer of a
higher delivery brand would be smoked. The evidence collected during
this study suEEests that the number of cigarettes smoked per day is
reasonably constant, i~respectlve o£ the delivery of the clgarecte. Zt
should be made' clear, however, that the cigarette consumption figures
quoted are approximate. Cigarettes were issued to the subjects on
demand. The figures quoted will include those given away. It is also
possible that smokers who ware offered, in affect, unlimited supplies of
free c4garectes might have abused the system and become more generous or
even stockpiled cigarettes. IC is to be expected that such abuses would
not be large as all the participants in this experiment normally receive
a weekly issue of cigarettes.

PART II - THE EI~"ECT OF TIME ON S~.IOKIIqG PATTERN WITH
RESULTS - II
A smmnary of the average results Ls shown as Table 5. This table
has been constructed by the 8umunation of the results obtained for the
first three cisarattas smoked in each phase for comparison win the
results of the %ast three ¢iKarettsa mBoked in each phase. Addltionally,
comparlaon of the last three 8moklnKs in Phase X ~r£th the first three
in Phase ZZ shows the chanses in smokin$ pattern which are associated
with the thanes of ciKarecte. Similarly, a comparison of the last three
cisarettes smoked in Phase ZT ~th the first three in Phase T~I~Z shows
the changes in smokinK pattern when returning to the control brand. Due
to the desiEn of the experiment, in which smokers were monitored in the
laboratory on a~ternate working days, the comparison is not 8tEietly
between week 1 and week & of smoking a particular brand. This is because
subjects were measured smokinK 3 ciKarettes in the ~aboratory for one
week then two the next, Because of this desiKn the thlrd replicates
for half the panel were in fact ueasured £n week two, and the first of
the flnal three replicates was measured in week 3 for half the panel.
A statlsti=al evaluatlon of these results is shown as Tables 6 and 7.

DISCUSSZON- ZT
It can be seen from Tables 6 and 7 that there were some stat£stically
s£Knlf£c•nt dlffezences baleen the first three and the lest three
ciKarettes smoked in Phase Z. Similarly there were a few statistically
8iKniffcant differences between the first and Final weeks of Phase TTI
when the subjects returned to the control delivery cilarette. There
were no stat£stlcally siKn~f£cant differences, however, between the
£1rsc and last three cigarettes smoked in Phase IT. This flt,dlng applies
to both groups of smokers, who thanked to either the higher delivery
cigarette or the lover delivery cigarette. There were statistically
significant changes observed for uoet parameters between the last week
8moklng the control cigarette and the first week meok£nK the changed
delivery ci8•rette and between the last week smoking the changed delivery
cigarette and the first week o£ the return to the control brand.
These findings •re interpreted on the basis that the smokers changed
most aspects of their smoklnK patterns in response to changed delivery
cigarettes and maintained the modified smokinK pattern for • period of
four weeks. This £indinI is •t variance tr~th the popular belief that
mmkers modify their smok~n$ pattern over • period of weeks in respoeme
to changed delivery. The present results suggest t~st •mokers cmnpm=sate
got changed delivery as soon as they start to smoke • changed delivery
braml and malnta~n the new smoking regime. It would require another
experiment to determine the length of rime for which the modified smoking
pattern perslsted. The supposition that some smokers can become used
to • lover nicotine intake in time assumes that" their demand for nicotine
¢8n be reduced. This ImplLes that the metabol£ma of nicotine can also

be reduced at about the same rate. When changing to • brand offering
different delivery, it is also ntctssary for ~he smoker to modify the
physical acts of smokinK ~d~Lch Involve the r£tuals of c4Karette selection,
puffins and ~nhaliuK. These responses may well have become Pavlovian in

The results of the statlstical analysis (Tables 9 and 10) show that
there were very few significant dlffexences between the motivational
groups. There ware no differences found between the hlgh and low
motivation groups who changed to the high dellvery cigarette. Differences,
vh£ch were just slgu£f~caut at the 90% confidence level, were found
for the number of puffs, Coral pressure used to draw the puffs and the
average interval between puffs for the moC£vaC~onal Kroups who changed
to the low delivery c£garetta. Reference to Table 8 shows chac the
subjects vlth low mot4vat£on took the greater number of puffs, shorter
~nCm~vals between puffs and higher pressures to draw the puffs. This
effect can be seen in all three phases of the exper~nent. Th~s is a
reversal of the slcuatiou that yes predicted, as it was expected thac
subjects with a higher motivation Co smoke for the nicotine content of
smoke would show a greater intensity when smoking low delivery cigarettes.
IC would also be expected chac compensation for reduced delivery of
nlcoC£ne would be more complete, i.e. nearer to aqual£sacion ef dellvary,
for the subjects ~r~-Ch h£gh~ moc£vatlon. The results of thls test,
however, ahoy that the differences ~n thm n£cocinm dal£vmry of the
c4garatces have had a marked affect on the degree of compensation whereas
the different mocivaclonal groups as ident££iad by ~ssell's quesc4onnaire,
do noc appear to show any lutmrprecable differences.
The small size of the motivational groups used in this axper£menc
and the large variations between people within these groups may be
distorting cha observed effects due co motivation and c.ot~cuZis~ ochers.
Zn general experiments duisned Co study the differences between ~coups

These results show that, KsneraLly speski~, the smokers in this
panel coupenaaCed for chansed del£vet£es usins most and sometimes all
of the methods available to them simultaneously. The number o£ cigarettes
smoked per day did not alter markedly, ~hile the average butt Lengths
discarded after 8mok£uB the Low deL£veL-y cigarette were 1onset than r.he
control c£KaretCe butts. These lonKer butts could be due to features of
the desiKn of the ]Low dellvery ciKarette, much as the tlpp~nK paper
lqch and vanC£laclon effects on the impact Ca £rrltat£ou rat£o.
L£ttle difference can be seen in the way in which the motivational
groups smoked "slchar the control oc the changed delivery cigarettes.
The observation that the amount o£ compensation did not alter after
a month of 8mokinK cigarettes with changed deliveries, sugKests that
there £s unlike17 to have been phys£o~ogical adjustment Vithln the
smoker duriu$ this period.. However the factors determ£n£ng the nlcotlne
demand of a smoker merit further study. Most of the population are
non-smokers up to m£ddle or Late taenaKe. When a person starts to smoke
tt is usually a few cigarettes per week which rises to a £ew par day
over a period of mouths. After the /~itiaL "experiments" with smok£r~K
the p~rson settles at a level of ~0. 20, 40 per day and may sea7 at that
Level £or years. L~ it is assumed that the ingluences on the number
o£ cigarettes smoked par day age not entlgely £1nanclal the number o£
c/4BareCCes smoked per day (and the way they are smoked) m~sC be controlled
by 4uternal mechanisms and some snvLroumental factors. One o£ chase
may ba the rate at which nicotine is metabol£sed and/or excreted. Th£s,
in turn, assumes that nlcotine Itse£f, and noc a metabolic derivative, is

the active principle in smoking. The faster the rate at vhich nlcocine
is deactivated pharmacologically, the more £requencly the smoker must
replenish his nlcocine "level" to provide the stimulation or ocher

In order co make a better estimate 0£ the deliveries of a cigarette

The results of the analysis o£ the filter t~ps for nicotine content
showed that the estimated delivery of nicotine to the smokers was on
~vsrage about 1.6 mK grog the control ciSarecces. The average delivery
. from the low delivery cigarette was about 1.5 ~ and from the high
delivery cigarette about 2.1 ~ (the coe~£icient o£ v&r~ation for the
data was about 4OZ).
Taking 1.5-2.O mK of nicotine as a target value ft is suggested
t~at this should be made available to the smoker with a minimum og T~H
and 8as phase. Practically, he,waver, mnokers uould £ind a cigarette
~hich delivered the desired dose of nicotine i~ a small volume (e.g.
100 ml) o£ smoke generally unacceptable, as the high concentration o£
nicotine in the smoke vould result in a very high /space, poor sensory
qualities and dL£flculty in controlling the self doslnS reg~m-.. An
"ides1" design of cigarette might there[ore be one which vould provide
a mnoker with 1.5-2.O ms o~ nicotine in about 350~450 ml of smoke, but
at the sauna time deliver ~a low ~eight (5-10 ~) og TPH, end m lov
concentration of c~cbon monoxide (1.O-2.0Z by volume). These 8u~estions
may be compared vlth those made bY De. K.A.H. Russell (15) who has
suggested that there is a case for a cigarette deL~verin$ 6 ms of tar
TFH ratio o£ about 6.
and 1.0-1.2 mg o£ nicotine i.e. a nicotine
Cigarettes can be made to auccemd Dr. RusseLl's mpecificat4on by
using tobaccos with. • nicotine content of about &.OZ and the design
features shown in the Ciseretce Design Handbook (L4). Such cisaretces
have bean made in limited quantities for experimental purposes (15).
An alternative design strategy could be employmd but would ~equire
the addition of nicotine compounds to a blend with low TPH potential.

Such a blend m£sht contain a proportion of tobacco substitutes. This
approach is, however, currently precluded by company policy.
It is ztcc~anded chat cisaracCea ~r~ch TPM/nicotine ratios of
spprox£mately 5:1 should be manufactured and studied £u a smoking
behavlour experiment. Care should be taken in the fLnal desiKn of such
cigarettes to optlmlse the positive attributes of the smok~nK qualities.
Such design features ms draw resistance, tobacco aroma, flavour and
irritation levels will need to be controlled as well as the deliveries
of the c£aaretces.
The design of this experiment, which has involved each subject
mmokir~ the cigarette brands under investiaatlon exclusively for four
weeks, with frequent laboratory measurements, has allowed a more accurate
analysis of Ohm data. Thm analysis of these data have allowed us to
present more c~aar cut answers than wars possible with the sin$1e shoc
experimental designs used previously. It is therefore recommended thac
a similar design should be used in future exper~encs to Investigate
the differences in smoking patterns between brands.

The decision to reKard the people effect as random is open to criticism.
It assumes that the Stoups of people used in the experiment (e-s. hishlY
motivated males, lowly motivated males etc.) were selected 4n a random
manner from the total populations of such people. Conclusions concerned
with contrasts betweeu these groups will only be true for the parent
populations to the extent that this assumption is correct. Since the
panel was selected from volunteers within Group 6. & D. Centre 4t may
be quite ~rcong to extrapolate to larger populations. The alternative
procedure is to treat the people effect as £ix~d. This mesns that the
subjects on the panel may only be treated as individuals. The results
are then only strictly applicable to these individuals and, because the
etatLstical tests become more sensitive, the danKer of makinl erroneous.
extrapolations to larser populations may be increased.
The ratios of mash sums of squares (F-r&tios) required to test
hypotheses co~cern/~S tezw~ of the model maT be obtained from Table 11
by exan~n4nK the estimated m~sn squares. For emample, to test the
hypothesis that there is no siKnlflcaut delivery effect on a variable
(~D.2 = O) the ratio EI/E9 must be calculated for the variable. This
&
F-rat£o is then compared rich the appropriate percentaKe point on the
F-d£stribucion and if the experinentei value is larKer, the hypothesis
is rejected and there is sm~d to be a s£sni£icant difference between
dellvecies at that level.
For esch varLsble In the above llsc the appropriate Y-rat£os were
calculated to test the sisnlfLcance o£ each o£ the terms ~n the above
model (except, of course, the erzor term).

General Remarks on the InterprecaC£on of Tables 9 and i0
The oucsCandXng £sacure oE the results is cl~tc the variation betveen
people is the major source 0£ variation in the data. lC is siKnifiean[
at the 0.01 level £or all v~b].es in both tables and is accompanied by
very larks F-rac£os.
There ia also a s£gu£flcanc dellvery/person ~nceraccion for the
majority of varLables, buc the F-raClos are much smaller than for the
m~t~n 'beL~een people' e££ecC. A s£Knificant dalivez~/person ~nCeracC£on
£or a particular variable 4ndicates r~ac the ch&nKe in the value of the
var£able £rom one delivery Co another is s£Knificantly dLfferenC for
dif£erenc people.
The larks variac£on between people vithin Kroups makes the tests
£or di££erences beCveeu Kcoups o£ people less sensitive e-K. tests for
dlfferences between ~he sexes and differences between the motivation
Kroups. Thus, although few-s£Kn£ficanc sex and motivation e£feccs and
their various ~nteractions were detected, £t may be that differences
were missed because" the tests ware not sufficiently sensitive.
circumstances permitted, this particular disadvanCmKe of the larks
varlat£on baleen people may be offset by usinK more people per group
to obtain better est£maCes of the Kroup me*,~s.
Eovever, the main o~jective of the experiment is co test £or di£fecences
in ~hs values of variables due to the dL~ferenc del4ver£es (phases). The
tests for delivery ef£ects do noc have tb~s problem because the same people
were used ~n each phase and the betveeu people variat4on is, therefore,
not involved. S48nificanc del£very affects are observed in Tables 9 and 10
for many of the variables in both parts o£ the analys£s. Before d£scussing
these affects a brief constant on motivational effects is appropriate.

Motivation
It can be seen £rom Table lO that moC£vatlon was only detected as
a significant effect for three variables in group 2. The number of
.puffs and the total pressure were both lover on average for the highly
motivated group than for the lovly motivated group, while the average
interval yes higher for the hiKh£y motivated group than for the lovly
motivated group. These di££srences are the opposite of the expected
di£fezences between those highly motivated Co smoke for nlcot£ne and
those less hlghly aotlvtCed.
Uovever, none of the di£ferences were 81~flcant at the 0.01 level
and Ln group 1 (Table 9) no slgnific~nt ef£ect8 due to motlvacion vere
observed whatsoever.
The small 8~zs of the mot£vat;ion I~roups and the large "between
persons vlth£n Stoups" variation may be distorting the obse:ved ef£ects
due to motivation and concealing others.
Ef£ect;s.,.og Chan6ed Dellvezy
Raving establlshed by analysis of variance that delivery has a
81snificant ef£ect on a particular variable. £t is eonstruetlve to
compare the mean values of the variable from each phase.
The StudenClsed tanks test may be used to test the significance of
di£ferences between the means. Th:ee differences between phases may be
tested (1-3), (1-2). and (3-2). Since the cigarettes used in phases 1
and 3 vere the same, one would mcpect r3hat no s£Kn~tcanC differences
between phases 1 and 3 would be observed and thac if there yes a significant
difference bstveeu I and 2 there would be a similar difference between
3 and2.

The Studentised ranKe test allowed the tst~sttim of least significant
differences between me•ns. Differences Kr~tter than a least 8ilDificsmt
dlZ£erence are then s•id to be siKnlflca~t. The results mre summarised
in Tables 12 and 13 usinS an * to denote differences between mea~s
silniflcant •t 0.1 and ** to denote differences s£gn~icant at 0.05.
Xc can be 8ee~ from these tables that for group 1 there are only
• few+ differences between phases 1 and 3 and the differences between
1 and 2 and between 3 and 2 •re frequently significant and similar Co
each ocher. This is ~ch as expected. But for Kroup 2 the~e are more
unexpected differences be~een phases 1 and 3, fewer siKn£ficant differences
betveen 1 and 2 and in some instances the differences between 3 and 2
are not the same sign as between I and 2. A sugary of the statlst~c•lly

sexes ts presented £n Table 3 (pale 13).
Effect of Time
Zn order to test for a siKnif£cant carry over from one phase to the
next or an accl/lat£sat£on process on mrltchLuK to a different delivery,
the ten replicate maokinls £or each individu•l in each of the three
phases were divided into three sub-phases, the first containing replicates
