Puffing and inhalation behaviour in cigarette smoking: Implications for particle diameter and dose
Inhalation of tobacco smoke aerosol is a two-step process involving puffing followed by inhalation. Measured smoke deposition efficiencies in the lung (20-70%) are greater than expected for smoke particles of diameter 150 – 250 nm CMD. Various mechanisms have been put forward to explain this enhanced deposition pattern, including coagulation, hygroscopic growth, condensation and evaporation, ch...
متن کاملCigarette smoke inhalation and lung damage in smoking volunteers.
Cigarette smoking is the dominant risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but only 10-15% of smokers develop the condition. Risk does not relate closely to cumulative cigarette consumption, perhaps because smokers vary in the degree and depth of smoke inhalation. This study examined the role of smoke inhalation in the development of COPD. Eighty current smokers and 20 lifet...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame
this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...
15 صفحه اولPuffing frequency and nicotine intake in cigarette smokers.
The smoking behaviour of 36 subjects smoking cigarettes with different filter retention efficiencies for nicotine was studied. Subjects were observed while performing various tasks on a driving simulator and also during a resting period after the tasks. Smokers of cigarettes with high-retention filters took more frequent puffs and obtained nearly the same amount of nicotine as smokers of cigare...
