The role of nicotine in smoking behavior was studied in a compensation experiment. Smokers (14, human) were recruited and their dependence on nicotine was measured by a Tolerance Questionnaire. Each subject smoked 4 cigarettes, 2 with high nicotine content and 2 with low. Recordings were made of the number of puffs, interpuff intervals and puff duration by means of a thermistor inserted into a wooden cigarette holder. A composite smoking score was calculated for each cigarette smoked. The more dependent subjects smoked more effectively than less dependent subjects and weaker cigarettes were smoked more effectively than stronger cigarettes. Compensatory smoking and nicotine dependence covaried. The results were discussed in light of recent efforts to offer the public weaker cigarettes.
