This study, based on a sample (N = 517) of adult medical patients at a southeastern medical center who were current users of cigarettes, reports the interrelationships among the puff characteristics of cigarette smoking behavior and smoke deliveries of tar and nicotine. Average puff duration, average puff volume, and the number of puffs were found to be significantly positively correlated with daily tar and nicotine intake. Intervals between puffs and total time smoking were not correlated with nicotine and tar intake. It was concluded that "how" a person smokes affects "how much" this person is exposed to tar and nicotine.
本研究以东南部一家医疗中心517名成年吸烟患者为样本，报告了吸烟行为的抽吸特征与焦油和尼古丁烟雾输送量之间的相互关系。研究发现，平均抽吸持续时间、平均抽吸量和抽吸次数与每日焦油和尼古丁摄入量呈显著正相关。抽吸间隔和总吸烟时间与尼古丁和焦油摄入量无关。研究得出结论，一个人“如何”吸烟会影响其“接触”焦油和尼古丁的“量”。
