Abstract
BECAUSE of their considerable pharmacological significance, the presence of nitrogen oxides in tobacco smoke has been the subject of a number of reports in the past few years1–4. In general, the choice of experimental techniques has been such that the relative amounts of the principal components, nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2), in cigarette smoke have not been clearly established.
