Cigarette Design:How to Make to a Better Nicotine Delivery Device Murray J. Kaiserman PRESENTED SEPTEMBER 19, 2012
“The cigarette should be conceived not as a product but as a package. The product is nicotine. The cigarette is but one of many package layers. There is the carton, which contains the pack, which contains the cigarette, which contains the smoke. The smoker must strip off all these package layers to get to that which he seeks…Think of a cigarette pack as a storage container for a day’s supply of nicotine…Think of a cigarette as a dispenser for a dose unit of nicotine…Think of a puff of smoke as the vehicle of nicotine…” William Dunn, Jr., of the Philip Morris Research Center, “Motives and Incentives in Cigarette Smoking,” Bates No. 1003291922/1939
TO BURN OR NOT TO BURN • Cigarettes • Roll-your-owns • “Little Cigars” • Cigars • Pipes • Waterpipes • E-cigarettes • Smokeless Tobacco – chewing, spit, spitless • NRTs – gum, patch, inhaler • Candy • Water

Flue-Cured Characteristics • FLUE CURED/VIRGINIA/BRIGHT LEAF • GROWN IN VA, NC, SC, CANADA, BRAZIL • YELLOW-REDDISH-ORANGE IN COLOR • NICOTINE CONTENT 2.5-3 % w/w • HIGH IN REDUCING SUGARS

FROM FACTORY TO MOUTH • RE-DRY COMPLETE CUT BLEND (12-14%) • TOBACCO ROD MANUFACTURE • FILTER ROD MANUFACTURE • ASSEMBLE TWO COMPONENTS • PACKAGE (SLIDE AND SHELL, FLIP TOP, SOFT PACK, TIN) • CARTON • OVER WRAPPED/BULK PACKAGING • CONDITIONED STORAGE
MAKE THEM STOP ADDING CHEMICALS TO CIGARETTES orWHAT DO THOSE NUMBERS REALLY MEAN
Combustion New chemicals Transferred chemicals Tobacco + Oxygen + + More than 4,000 chemicals About 2,500 chemicals More than 50 carcinogens
Relationship Between These Elements Design characteristics Smoke Toxicity Smoke emissions Tobacco Ingredients Constituents
Constituents, Emissions, Toxicity Test Methods Constituents Smoke emissions Smoke toxicity 11 test methods 14 Mainstream smoke methods 14 Sidestream smoke methods 3 test methods 3 mechanisms of toxicity: mutagenicity cytotoxicity clastogenicity 41 emissions 40 emissions 27 constituents
Lab Analysis Performed • Once the sample is generated, laboratory analysis can be performed (either smoke or extract depending if doing emissions or constituents analysis) Collect on Cambridge filter pad Extraction and sample clean-up Instrumental analysis emissions constituents For constituent analysis (not burned), the compounds are extracted from the tobacco (and not smoked)
Smoke Analysis • For Smoke analysis, the first step is to generate the sample by smoking the product.
