Measurement of Smoking Experience

Abstract
SMOKING, now recognized as a foremost environmental hazard to health, may be performed in diverse ways — making it difficult for investigators to quantitate and compare the effective exposure to tobacco smoke resulting from smoking of cigarettes, pipes or cigars in various ways at various ages. Cigarettes may be long or short, with filters or without and inhaled deeply or hardly at all, and may be discarded after a few puffs or smoked to a very short butt. The number of cigarettes, pipefuls or cigars smoked per unit of time is, by itself, an inadequate index to the effective exposure . . .
