TLDR
In this article, the concentration of 11 elements in cigarette tobacco of four brands commercially made in Jordan, and one foreign brand was determined using Proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy.Abstract:
Proton-induced X-ray emission spectroscopy was applied to determine the concentration of 11 elements in cigarette tobacco of four brands commercially made in Jordan, and one foreign brand. The results are expressed in absolute amount per cigarette. Cigarette wrapping paper and cigarette smoke were also analyzed. The significance of some of the elements found in the samples are discussed.read more

Medical Absenteeism Among Cigarette, and Cigar and Pipe Smokers
H S Holcomb rd,J. W. Meigs +1 more
TL;DR: Results might fit the hypothesis that adoption of the habit of cigar or pipe smoking by middle age occurred among men with constitutional and absentee behavioral characteristics tending to distinguish them from men with a lifelong cigarette smoking habit.
