Moves to characterize smoking behavior using a flowmeter and inductance plethysmography are described and demonstrated with seven subjects smoking over a 3-to 4-h period.
Abstract
Theoretical and technical considerations of measuring puff and inhalation volumes during cigarette smoking are reviewed. Measures of smoking behavior using a flowmeter and inductance plethysmography are described and demonstrated with seven subjects smoking over a 3-to 4-h period. Puff volume and duration, inhaled volume and duration, interpuff and intercigarette interval, and number of puffs varied for each individual over the session. The ratio of puff volume to inhaled volume changed with successive cigarettes. Smokers adjust the concentration of smoke by blending air with the smoke. Thus, to completely characterize smoking behavior, the volume of smoke and air inhaled into the lungs must be measured directly.

Indirect evidence suggests that smoking low‐tar and nicotine cigarettes does not necessarily reduce exposure to these substances, and machine‐determined nicotine yields of the cigarettes correlated with the increase in nicotine blood levels after smoking.

Factor analysis showed that puff shape, puff volume, and puff frequency accounted for about 50% of variation obtained with the different puffing variables, and partial correlation procedures suggested that nicotine might be more important in determining puffing behavior than CO and condensate yield.
Clinical Pharmacology & TherapeuticsDoes cigarette nicotine yield affect puff volume?
54 Citations1982Steven W. Gust, Roy W. Pickens
Smoking low‐nicotine cigarettes may increase exposure to other harmful smoke constituents as nicotine yield decreased, puff volume, puff duration, number of puffs, and carbon monoxide boost increased.
PubMedMonitoring smoking patterns of low and high tar cigarettes with inductive plethysmography.

The results show that (1) smokers switched acutely from HTC to LTC draw larger puffs from LTC thereby possibly circumventing the perceived benefits of smoking LTC, and (2) cigarette holders modify smoking pattern and hence if used with an incorporated flowmeter to monitor the natural pattern of smoking might give spurious information.

The magnetometer technique provides an accurate means of measuring volume and time components of breathing in man, avoiding the behavioral or reflex effects induced by mouthpiece, nose clip, or face mask, and will be well suited to the study of Breathing in those who are ill.

The relation between blood carboxyhaemoglobin (COHb) and plasma nicotine concentrations was studied in a group of 12 smokers smoking cigarettes of three levels of standard delivery and trough COHb concentrations might be used to provide a reliable indication of the exposure to nicotine of individual smokers smoking the same type of cigarette.

Inhalation patterns of individual cigarettes may not be sensitive to fluctuations in serum nicotine, while they are sensitive to cigarettes that vary in nicotine yield and draw resistance.

Results of this experiment do not support the view of a bimodal distribution of smokers, "compensators" and "noncompensator," since a continuous range of compensation ratios was obtained.

Cigarette filters have been introduced to reduce inhaled smoke and also as a means of breaking the smoking habit and the observed reductions in isotope inhalation were significant but were significantly less than the manufacturers' predictions.
