    Citation Excerpt :

    As for narghile tar, it is qualitatively different from that produced by cigarettes: notably, glycerol is expected, as in the harm reduction Eclipse cigarette, to form a great part of the tar. Cigarettes containing more nitrosamines are not those with a higher tar content (Gray et al., 1998), so that the rating of tar with smoking machines makes no sense. Tobacco smoke contains more than 4000 different chemicals, most of which are generated during the combustion process.
