N2 - The publication is a summary of research on the hazardous
substances found in tobacco products. Studies of tar,
nicotine and carbon monoxide in self-burning cigarettes
on the market in Finland are based on control measures
prescribed by Section 7 of the Tobacco Act, and the
remaining studies of hazardous substances originate from
the research activity referred to in Section 27 of the
same act. The publication consists of five separate
articles and a description of method in annex form.
Tests on tar (dry smoke condensate), nicotine and carbon
monoxide content in cigarette smoke were conducted in
half-year periods from 1977 to 1980. The analytical and
sampling methods employed are described herein.
Variations in the content of hazardous substances in
single cigarette brands and changes in the average
content of harmful substances in all cigarette brands are
also examined. The publication additionally classifies
cigarette brands into groups according to tar content as
well as investigates the correlation of nicotine and
carbon monoxide to tar.
The study also undertakes a determination of tar,
nicotine and carbon monoxide content in Finnish
nonself-burning cigarettes, papyros-type cigarettes, for
which no international standard smoking method has been
devised. The role of the puff frequence in the quantity
of hazardous substances has also been studied in
determining the content of harmful substances in
papyros-type cigarettes. The analytical methods are dealt
with and the results reported for a number of half-year
periods.
The publication describes tests with the methods used to
determine hydrogen cyanide and particularly the
spectrophotometric method adopted. The article presents
research results obtained during three half-year periods
for the hydrogen cyanide content found in the smoke of
cigarette brands on the market in Finland. Research
results reported in the literature and the correlation of
hydrogen cyanide concentrations to tar are presented as
well.
Lead, cadmium and pesticide determinations were performed
for some tobacco products in 1980. Lead and cadmium were
analyzed in tobacco materials and in the tar produced in
burning as were pesticide residuals in tobacco material.
The results are compared with the values appearing in the
relevant literature.
Research on and research methods for roll-your-own brands
of tobacco are dealt with. Results on the concentrations
of tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide in smoke per
hand-rolled cigarette and gramme of tobacco are reported
for all hand-rolled tobacco marketed in Finland in 1980.
