Objective: To determine constituents of fillers and mainstream smoke from Neo Cedar. Methods: Neo Cedar is a second-class over-the-counter (OTC) drug and similar to cigarettes in a number of ways. In particular, the design and usage are very similar to those of cigarettes. For the fillers of the drug, the levels of nicotine, tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA), and heavy metals, and mutagenicity were determined using the methods for cigarette products. For the mainstream smoke, the levels of tar, nicotine, carbon monoxide (CO), TSNA, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and carbonyl compounds were also determined using the methods for cigarettes. The mainstream smoke from the drug were collected with a smoking machine using two smoking protocols (ISO and Health Canada Intense methods). Results: The nicotine and total TSNA levels in the fillers of the drug averaged 2.86 mg/g and 185 ng/g, respectively. The nine species of heavy metals were also detected in the fillers of the drug. The levels of nicotine, tar, CO, TSNA, PAH, and carbonyl compounds of mainstream smoke from the drug were higher when determined using the HCI regime than when using the ISO regime. The mutagenicity of the mainstream smoke determined using the HCI regime was also higher than that determined using the ISO regime. Conclusion: In this study, all constituents of Neo Cedar were determined by methods for cigarette products. The drug had a ventilation hole on its filter. Thus, its constituents are different from those determined by the smoking protocols. Neo Cedar users should be careful of higher exposure to the hazardous gases owing to smoking patterns.

This research examined gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) measurements for nicotine and 4-ethenylpyridine, which are passive smoking markers of environmental tobacco smoke. Since the object ingredient was a polar compound, a comparison examination was performed using both a non-polar column (DB-5) and a mid-polar column (DB-17) for analysis. Of the two columns, as a result of comparing the peak shape, sensitivity, and linearity, it was found that DB-17 is suitable for measuring nicotine and 4-ethenylpyridine, which is a substitute compound of 3-ethenylpyridine. When the nicotine concentration determined by the GC/MS method was compared with that of the GC/FID method, which was the regulating method, the concentration as determined by the GC/MS method was about 30% lower than that of the GC/FID method. It was suggested that measurements by GC/FID include other organic components. When tobacco smoke (the gaseous and particle components of mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke) was measured using this GC/MS condition, nicotine was detected in all samples, except for the gaseous component of the mainstream smoke, and 3-ethenylpyridine was only detected in the gaseous component of sidestream smoke.
