Nitrobenzene, a potentially harmful compound found in tobacco smoke, has been largely excluded from prior analysis due to difficulties with quantification. Quantifying harmful compounds in cigarette smoke is useful to compare products, to examine the impact of design parameters on delivery, and to help estimate exposures. A sensitive high-throughput method has been developed for quantifying nitrobenzene in machine-generated mainstream cigarette smoke using isotope dilution gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID-GC-MS/MS). This method has sufficient sensitivity to measure vapor phase nitrobenzene concentrations in the low nanogram range, with a 418 pg/cig method limit of detection. Precision estimates from two quality control cigarette products resulted in percent relative standard deviations of 11.5% and 14.9%; product variability estimates from 13 cigarette products resulted in percent relative standard deviations ranging from 2.8% to 16.9%. Nitrobenzene in the machine-generated, mainstream smoke from 15 cigarette products are reported and range from 18 to 38 ng/cig under the Health Canada Intense smoking regimen.
