Part 1: Psychophysical Measurements
INTRODUCTION
The purpose was to chart odor and irritation from ETS
produced by cigarettes that varied in diameter: two of conventional
diameter, one of slim diameter, and one of ultraslim diameter.
bL=11-CD
Sub iects: Thirty-five subjects, 18 males and 17 females,
participated in four sessions each, one for each of four brands
Average age equalled 28 (SD = 8.1). Twenty percent smoked. The
majority had served in similar experiments previously. On any of
the eight days of testing, approximately half the subjects
participated.
~: Brands studied were Capri (97 mm length, 17 mm
circumference), Dotal Ughts (85 ram, 24.5 ram), Marlboro (85 ram,
24.5 ram), and Virginia Slims Lights (98 ram, 23 ram), all
nonmenthol. The cigarettes were maintained in unopened packs
under normal room conditions, temperature of 21 C and relative
humidity of 30 to 40 %. Packs of a given brand were opened as
needed on the day of smoking (one brand per day) and the contents
distributed into aluminum foil packets in the following fashion: two
packets of 10 cigarettes and two of 15 cigarettes. The quantities
per packet represented hourly amounts to be smoked during four-hr
test sessions: 10 cig per hr for the first and second hours and 15 per
hr for the third and fourth hours. The appropriate aluminum-foil
packet was delivered to the smokers at the beginning of each hour.
After it was smoked, a cigarette was extinguished by being
placed into a scintillation vial which was then sealed. (The vial also
served as ashtray.) The collection procedure permitted weighing and
measurement of butts for subsequent correlation between level of
sensory effect and amount of tobacco consumed.
~: Smoking took place in a 1200-cu ft, aluminum
environmental chamber. Relevant parameters were as follows:
temperature, 22 C; relative humidity, 36% (SD=6); recirculation rate,

,.
95 air changes per hr (ach); and ventilation rate, 2.5 ach,
Temperature, dew point, and carbon monoxide concentration were
monitored throughout a session.
~: ETS was generated by three or four smokers. These
persons smoked in serial order, i.e., person A smoked a cigarette,
then person B smoked a cigarette, etc. On any given day, the smokers
smoked only one brand. Table 1 displays the order of brands smoked
across days.

The smoking procedure remained the same from day to .day,
except for brand smoked. During the first two hours, the smokers
smoked a total of 10 cig per hour. A new cigarette was lit every 6
rain and was smoked for 6 rain. Hence, one cigarette was being
smoked at any given time. Because the smokers had considerable
prior experience with such a regimen, they followed it with ease and
smoked the cigarettes comfortably, neither very fast nor very stow.
During the first hour, carbon monoxide rose to a more-or-less steady
level. During the second hour, |evel remained approximately steady
and the first set of psychophysical judgmnents were collected.
During the third and fourth hours, the smokers increased the
smoking rate to 15 per hr. This regimen required a new cigarette to
be lit every 4 rain and to remain lit for approximately 6 rain. After
the first four min, there were, therefore, alternating 2-rain periods
of one cigarette being smoked and two cigarettes being smoked. The
third hour was used to approach a steady Jevel of carbon monoxide.
Psychophysical iudgments were collected during the fourth hour.

Before beginning their psychophysical judgments, subjects
were grouped into threes for their visits into the chamber. A trio
would enter for a 3-rain period. At t - 0, 1, 2, and 3 rain, they filled
in judgment sheets of the sort shown in Fig. 1. The sheets requested
judgments of both the intensity and the acceptability of eye, nose,
and throat irritation, and of odor. The sheets also elicited a
judgment of overall acceptability. After three minutes in the
chamber, one trio would leave and be replaced by the next. The
entire group would complete a round of judgments in 20 rain. There
were three such rounds per hr in the second and fourth hours of the
session. Hence, each individual occupied the chamber for a total of 9
min per hr.
~: Perceived intensity was derived from graphic ratings
by measuring the distance in mm from the top (zero) end of the
scale. Corresponding judgments of an attribute within a round, e.g.,
judgments at t = 0, were treated as replicates and hence averaged
across subjects. For reference in interpretation, we note that the
tics marks on the graphic rating scale occurred at "t3-mm intervals
(see Fig. 1). Therefore, averages of 13-ram would represent 'slight,'
whereas those of 26 would represent 'moderate,' and those of 39
'strong.'
Acceptability scores are expressed in terms of the fraction of
subjects dissatisfied. The measure offers the most direct way to
compare the acceptability results with perceived intensity.
RESULTS
Intensity of irritation and odor increased significantly from a
smoking rate of 10 to a rate of 15 cig per hr (Figs. 2 to 5). (Tables 2
to 5 display ANOVAs relevant to the data in Figs. 2 to 5.) For three
of the brands, the increase occurred in more-or-less parallel
fashion. Marlboro, however, exhibited a more dramatic increase than
the others. Whereas its intensity fell among that of the other
brands at the smoking rate of 10 cig per hr, it climbed above the
others at 15 ’ig per hr. The departure from paraleilism caused by
Marlboro presumably accounts for statistically significant or near-
significant brand-by-smoking rate interactions for the three of the
four sensory attributes.
The brands also differed significantly in the magnitude of
their sensory effects irrespective of smoking rate. The pattern

among brands varied somewhat with attribute (cf. eye vs nose
irritation). Nevertheless, one trend stood out; the ultraslim brand "-
Capri consistently fell below the others at both rates of smoking.
Within a brand, the attributes of eye irritation and throat
irritation consistently had approximately the same intensity,
whereas nose irritation and odor had higher intensity. This pattern
held true across brands, even though the absolute differed (see Figs.
7 to10). The averages shown in the figures fail to depict the
dynamic nature of the irritation and odor responses. Figure 11
displays eye irritation from Capri and Dotal over the 3-rain periods
of judging when the smoking rate equalled 10 cig per hr. Two trends
emerged: 1) irritation increased over the 3 rain of exposure, and 2)
irritation increased from round to round with the larger increase
occurring from the first to the second round. Figures 12 through 16
reveal that the same trend held for Marlboro and Virginia Slims and
for nose and throat irritation as well as for eye irritation. Odor
intensity showed less of a tendency to increase over the 3 rain of
exposure, but still tended to increase from round to round (Figs. 17
and 18). ~.;
What held for the smoking rate of 10 cig per hr also generally
held for the rate of 15 cig per hr, though somewhat less uniformly
(Figs. 19 to 26). The data at 15 cig per hr departed from
monotonicity more frequently, but still encouraged the conc!usion
that irritation and odor increased over time both within and between
rounds.
The increases in irritation and odor during and between rounds
of judging most likely represented the action of two processes, one
sensory and one physical. The tendency for irritation to increase
over time during continuous exposures to low level irritants is well
established as a property of the common chemical sense (Cometto-
Muniz and Cain, 1984; Cain eta]., 1986; Cain et ai., 1987). We can
accordingly attribute the increases during a round to this process.
The finding that increases in odor were less prominent and
systematic reinforces such a conclusion. The increases across
rounds, however, may require a physical explanation.
Although we had anticipated that the gaseous constituents
would have reached steady state after an hour, small increases
generally continued to occur thereafter. Such increases, despite
their small size, mw have led to the round-to-round increments in

intensity. Table 6 displays the carbon monoxide levels for the three
rounds of judgments within an hour. The likelihood that an increase
in vapor phase constituents may have led to the increments in
sensory judgments was decided by ",~e finding that odor imensity for
each brand varied monotonically with carbon monoxide level between
rounds as well as between smoking rates {Fig. 27). (We use carbon
monoxide here as a surrogate for whatever vapor phase constituents
may in fact cause the odor.) The explanation invoked in this instance
derives in a sense from exclusion, i.e., from the absence of another
reason why odor in particular might rise progessively for judgments
spaced 20 rain apart. A telling feature is that the odor of Dotal
Lights actually decreased across rounds and so did carbon monoxide
level. This translates into a positive association in Fig. 27.
Table 6: Carbon Monoxde Concentration (ppm)
Brand Cig/hr Round 1 Round 2 Round 3
Capri 10 2.3 2.9 3.0
1 5 .. 4.1 4.4 4.4

Doral Lights 1 0 3.8 3.8 4.0

Marlboro 1 0 4.1 4.1 4.3
1 5 6.7 6.8 6.9
Va Slims Lights 1 0 3.8 4.1 4.4
1 5 6.9 6.9 7.3
The rise in intensity across rounds has relevance to a search
for the best correlate of odor and irritation across brands. As Table
2 revealed, the brands differed in the amount, of carbon monoxide
generated, with Capd the lowest. Hence, we could expect some
association between carbon monoxide concentration and intensity.
Although present at .all three rounds of judging, the association was
relatively in the first round, but then improved considerably.
Figures 28 to 31 reveal this progressive trend for carbon monoxide
to associate closely with intensity. The judgment depicted here is
that at 3 rain, but judgments at other times yielc~ed the same result.
Figures 32 to 36 revea! that what held true for intensity generally
held for accept=,bility. Grams of tobacco smoked offered yet another

2: Physical Measurements
INTRODUCTION
This section reports emissions of selected smoke components
from four brands of cigarettes: Capri, Marlboro (85 ram), Doral
Lights (85 ram), and Virginia Slims Lights. Fourteen tests (Table 1)
were conducted during December 1987 and February/March 1988.
Concentrations of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides,
hydrocarbons, gas phase nicotine, particle size distribution,
visibility, and particle mass were determined.

METHOD
Four cartons of each brand were provided by B&W. Upon arrival,
the cartons were stored as shipped. In February, the remaining
cigarettes were placed inside a thermocooler over dishes of
distilled water saturated with sodium bromide to maintain relative
humidity at 60%.
Temperature of the chamber equalled 22 C. Relative humidity
ranged from 30-37%. Ventilation rate, typically 2.4 .+. 0.2 air
changes per hour (ach), was measured at the beginning and end of the
day via decay of injected carbon dioxide. Thorough mixing was
maintained with a recirculation rate of 67 or 95 ach. A test session
lasted 2.5 hr.

Tobacco smoke was typically generated by three smokers per
session. Five different persons participated in one or another
session. Cigarettes were lit with a butane lighter and extinguished
in scintillation vials. Cigarettes were smoked at a rate of 1 cig/6
rain (10 per hr).
Temperature, relative humidity, and gas concentrations (Table II)
were recorded throughout the experiment on a muttichannel Omega
recorder. Particle size distributions were measured ('Table II)
before the experiment and twice during steady state for 10-rain
pedods. Instruments were calibrated before and after each set of
experiments. Instrument inlet filters and operating parameters
were checked daily.

The mass of total suspended particles (TSP) in the air at steady-
state was determined gravimetdcally. Gas-phase nicotine and
pa,"ticles were collected simultaneously by drawing air. through a
filter cassette at1.7 L/rain for 90 rain. Three sampling systems
were operated at locations 1, 2, and 3 shown in P3gure 1. A filter
cassette consisted of a 37-ram assembly (Millipore M00003700)
containing a Teflon-costed glass fiber filter (Pallflex TX401120WW,
37ram) to collect particles, a support pad (Millipore AP10037X), a
spacer, then a tandem treated filter (Pailflex "I'X40H120WW soaked
in 4% NaHSO4 - 40% ethanol, then dried) to collect gas-phase
nicotine, and finally another support pad. The assembled cassettes

were mounted mid-height in the chamber. The pumps vented back
into the chamber.
Filters were weighed immediately before and after aerosol
collection. Weights were stable after collection, neither increasing
or decreasing in weight with time. Typical masses were 100 to 200
ug. Filters were stored folded, wrapped in foil, inside specimen
containers in a freezer for shipment to Dr. S. K. Hammond of the
University of Massachusetts for analysis.
RESULTS
Tests were conducted on 6 days; two in December and four in
February and March. Between these two periods, certain alterations
(repairs) were made to the air handling system of the chamber.
Intervening analysis of the December data prompted three changes in
the February/March protocol:
1) only two experiments were performed per day in order to avoid
peak traffic periods since o~tside vehicle emissions affected
chamber levels of CO, NOx and HC;
2) time between experiments was lengthened to one hour in order
to determine mid-day background concentrations of CO, NOx, and
HC; and
3) tobacco was stored at 60% relative humidity.
Tables III through VI display the results brand by brand. Table
vii offers a comparison of brands.

The chamber was ventilated at 2.5 ach with recirculation at 95
ach during the tests in December. A new blower installed in the
chamber in February lowered ventilation to 2.3 ach and recirculation
to 67 ach. The decrease in the ventilation rate typically increased
the concentration of gases and particles by 7%. The decrease in the
recirculation rate increased particle levels by an additional 17%
presumably by decreasing particle deposition on the walls and in the
ducts.
Net steady state chamber concentrations of gases and particles
listed in Tables !11 to Vl were normalized to 2.5 ach. Background
concentrations (subtracted) were typically 0.03% CO2, 0.3 to 1.5
ppm CO, 4-6 ppm hydrocarbons, and 0.06 to 0.2 ppm NOx. Increases
in CO2 levels were similar in akl tests (0.08 ppm) and were
attributed to respiration of the smokers. Levels of CO and
hydrocarbons were typically higher and more erractic for December
presumably because of holiday season traffic. Carbon monoxide,
hydrocarbon, and nitrogen oxide concentrations were simitar for
Doral Lights, Marlboro, and Virginia Slims Lights, with a slight trend
for Virginia Slims Lights < Doral Lights < Marlboro. Capri produced
the lowest concentrations.
Available nicotine concentrations for December were consistent
within a day, but inexplicably 42% low on Dec 22_ Such
discrepancies have been observed before in chamber experiments;
the reason is unknown. We hope that values for the tests in February
will be more consistent. Nicotine concentrations were similar for
Doral Lights and Virginia Slims Lights and similar, but 17% lower,
for Capri and Marlboro.
The pdmary index of particulate loading was the mass of TSP.
As TSP increased there was an increase in the number of large
particles (i.e., a smaller percentage of mass <1.Sum) and decrease in
visibility. TSP concen~ations in December ranged from 840 to1092
ug/m3, whereas those in February vaded from 932 to 1366 ug/m3.
The particle production rates per gram of tobacco burned measured
in December were similar, 140+6 ug/g-m3 for Dotal Lights, Virginia
Slims Lights, and Marlboro, and 32% lower than Capri at 184 ug/g-
m3. Production rates in February followed an identical pattern, but
were consistently16-18% higher than those observed for each of the
four brands in December.

DISCUSSION: ":
Capri produced lower concentrations of carbon monoxide,
hydroc~bons, and p~ulJcles than the other three brands of
cigarettes. Capri burned slower than the other brands, which
indicated less efficient combustion. Consequently, emissions of
both gases and particles per gram of tobacco smoked is higher for
that product.
