A graphical method is presented showing the inter-relationship of the air flow resistance of the cigarette, itself, and that of the ventilation in the filter tips in determining the dilution produced by that ventilation. The method was checked by direct, steady-state measurements of dilution of unlit cigarettes to which a resistance was added simulating the resistance of the burning coal.
