An analytical method of establishing a quality index for fresh smoke is described. It is based on the reaction between cysteine and a number of smoke constituents such as oxides of nitrogen, aldehydes and unsaturated carbonyls. The method can be used for product screening, the measurement of filter performance, or for assessing tobacco quality.
