In this study the yield of smoke condensate and nicotine for cigarettes obtained from the three smoking machines FILTRONA CSM 10, BAT RM 15/61 and BAT RM 20/68 was compared. There was good agreement for the results of the BAT RM 20/68 machine with the CSM 10 while the BAT RM 15/61 delivered significantly lower mean values for moist and dry smoke condensate as well as for nicotine in the smoke.
