| Abstract: | "In this study, the composition of mainstream smoke was investigated with an emphasis on a list of volatile organic compounds (VOCs: e.g., isoprene, acrylonitrile, methyl ethyl ketone, benzene, toluene, m-xylene and styrene) using the two types of flavor capsule cigarettes (FCCs, here coded as F1 and F2) in reference to one commercial, non-flavored (NF) and 3R4F cigarette. The concentrations of all the target compounds from FCCs were quantified under two contrasting conditions (i.e., with and without breaking the capsules). The effect of breaking the capsule was apparent in the FCC products with the enhancement of VOC levels, specifically between after and before breaking the capsules (e.g., 1.10-1.58 folds (benzene) and 1.30-1.53 folds (acetonitrile)). Such increases were apparent in both FCC samples if assessed in terms of the total amount of VOCs (TVOC): (1) F1 (from 2159 to 2530 mug cig(-1) (p = 9.42 x 10(-6))) and (2) F2 (from 1470 to 2014 mug cig(-1) (p = 0.05)). In addition, these TVOC levels determined from the FCCs were 1.62- to 1.83- and 1.29- to 1.46-fold higher than those of the NF cigarette and the 3R4F cigarette, respectively. Thus, these FCC products are suspected to play a role as stronger sources of VOCs than the general cigarette products" |
