On the other hand, World Health Organization has appealed to the scientific community to focus on discovering the influence of design elements upon the content of smoke emission. The aim of the research was to determine the influence of the filter length span on the content of dangerous substances observed in cigarette smoke. By using standardized methods, we determined the influence of filter length upon the main substances in smoke – nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide.Key words: cigarette filters, smoking |
