The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke

by Alan Rodgman, Thomas A. Perfetti

Overview

Authored by two longtime researchers in tobacco science, The Chemical Components of Tobacco and Tobacco Smoke, Second Edition chronicles the progress made from late 2008 through 2011 by scientists in the field of tobacco science. The book examines the isolation and characterization of each component. It explores developments in pertinent analytical

Editorial Reviews

Praise for the First Edition

… the real value of the book will turn out in its daily use and it has all chances to become the standard reference book (perhaps 'The Bible') of all tobacco scientists.
—Dr. Gerhard Scherer, Editor of Beitrage zur Tabakforschung International, Bonn, Germany

I highly recommend this book as an indispensable reference source for tobacco and smoke chemists as well as other scientists involved in the study of tobacco and its products. The compilation of proper chemical names, common names, Chemical Abstract Service numbers (CAS No.), and structures alone are worth the purchase price.
—Charles R. Green, Ph.D., Retired Senior Principal Scientist, R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

Many congratulations on this monumental piece of work.
—Dr. Chuan Liu, Senior Scientist, Applied Research, Group Research & Development, British American Tobacco, Southampton, United Kingdom

As a statistician I would like to forecast: There will not be any other comprehensive work in the next 30-50 years about this topic – Rodgman – Perfetti will be the definitive book.
—Prof. Dr. Wolf-Dieter Heller, Karlsruhe, Germany

as a reference text on a laboratory shelf it will prove essential and take its place alongside the other CRC publications.
—M. Cooke, Chromatographia 2010, 71
