Journal ArticleDOI
The reliability and predictive validity of the Heaviness of Smoking Index and its two components: Findings from the International Tobacco Control Four Country study

TL;DR: Filter ventilation is a dangerous, defective technology that should be abandoned in less hazardous nicotine delivery systems and health interested groups should test cigarettes in a way that reflects compensatory smoking.

TL;DR: This paper summarises a proposal, and the considerations that led to it, developed by a joint International Agency for Research on Cancer and WHO working group, and approved by TobReg, which presents performance standards for cigarettes and a strategy to use them to mandate a reduction in the toxicant yields for cigarette smoke.
