The individual alkanes of cigarette smoke are quantitatively determined in a relatively short time through the use of gas chromatography, column chromatography and isotope dilution techniques. The presence of both branched and normal isomers from C12 through C33 are indicated. Gas chromatographic conditions for the separation of these components within fourteen minutes are reported and the concentration of individual alkanes from a variety of cigarettes are presented.
