Smoking Machines

Abstract

Smoking machines are mechanical devices for the standardized smoking of cigarettes, facilitating the determination of nicotine and condensate yields of cigarettes according to strictly controlled parameters such as puff duration, puff volume, number of puffs and butt length. The development of smoking machines dates back some 50 years. The first - a four channel smoking machine - was built by Bradford, Harlan and Hammer in 1936.
