Abstract
Many epidemiological studies have illustrated the general hazards associated with cigarette smoking, and have also shown wide differences in the susceptibility of individuals with similar smoking histories. Much of this variability may be due to genetic or environmental factors, but another important factor concerns the quantities of the smoke constituents which reach the tissues. This is largely influenced by differences in the way that people smoke, and this paper is concerned with the problems of measuring the process and the effects of smoking two cigarettes which differ principally in their nicotine yields.
