Abstract

The cigarettes of three commercial brands (belonging to JUS quality classes E, II and IV) were analysed for cadmium and lead in tobacco, butts and crude smoke condensate. Metal fractions transferred from the cigarette tobacco to the smoke as well as metal retentions in the butts were calculated from the analytical results. Statistical analyses revealed a significant dependence of all observables on the cigarette quality class.
