A Study of the Puff-by-Puff Delivery of Menthol and Nicotine in Cigarette Smoke and the Effects of Air Dilution on Delivery
Abstract
Reports a simple extraction method for the simultaneous measurement of nicotine and menthol. Says this method is used to study the effects of air dilution on puff-by-puff deliveries of nicotine and menthol. Finds increased air dilution enriches the nicotine content of tar more than menthol and this procedure is useful for analyzing cigarette filler.

- Hypothesis
- Elasticity and Product Control
- FTC machine testing and ratings
Design changes to achieve altered FTC smoke machine tar and nicotine ratings, with or without measured changes in human intake.- Low-yield cigarettes
Modification of low yield products to assure that adequate levels of nicotine delivery are maintained, and effects of yield changes on toxicity and dependence.- Nicotine transport, transfer, and uptake
Design changes which alter nicotine delivery or effect how the product causes and maintains dependence, including transfer of nicotine from tobacco to smoke, and uptake into the body.- Use of additives
Modification of tobacco products through use of additives and measuring effects on dependence, behavior, and toxicity. - FTC machine testing and ratings
