Direct Chromatography of the Gas Phase of Cigarette Smoke: Hydrocarbons and Compounds Containing Oxygen and Nitrogen

Abstract
A direct qualitative analysis of the gas phase of cigarette smoke was accomplished by use of an assembly of three classical columns connected to two flame ionization detectors. The analysis made it possible to confirm results previously obtained for hydrocarbons and to identify 25 oxygenated and nitrogenous compounds. The technique described for cigarette smoke is applicable to any gas or liquid mixture containing components as different as hydrocarbons and containing oxygen and nitrogen.
