A rapid, economical method was developed for the evaluation of the potential of different tobacco varieties to produce possibly hazardous smoke compounds. This controlled pyrolysis method produces pyrolyzate fractions very nearly identical with corresponding cigarette smoke fractions, as determined by analyses of their polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, neutral constituents, and phenolic contents.
