On the Influence of Moisture Content in Cigarettes on Combustion Temperature and Transferred Amount of Nicotine into Cigarettes Smoke

Abstract

1) The combustion temperatures of domestic commercial blended cigarettes are not affected by the moisture content in cigarettes or the smoking procedure, and, most of these values are within the limits of 794±25.5°C and 827±21.1°C.
2) No significant differences in the amount of nicotine transferred into smoke were observed between 10.9%, and 15.4.% moistured cigarettes, while values obtained from low moistured, 6.6%, cigarettes, were always slightly higher than those obtained from both 10.9% and 15.4% moistured cigarettes.
