Abstract

By a method of thermal analysis and smoke analysis of cellulose cigarettes treated with various nitrogenous compounds, it was found that nitric oxide in sidestream smoke is formed not only from nitrates but also from amino acids and water-insoluble protein, while little of the nitric oxide in mainstream smoke is formed from these organic nitrogenous compounds.
