- the above-described cartridge was inserted in the flavor inhalation system (electrically heated tobacco product) shown in Fig. 3 , a tobacco rod inhalation port end was inserted in a five-link-type rotary automatic smoker made by Borgwaldt. Then, after a lapse of 30 seconds from the time point (heating start time point) at which the heater switch was turned on, smoking was started. Measurement was performed under the conditions of Health Canada smoking method (smoking with a smoking amount of 55 cc/2 sec, a smoking time of 2 sec, a smoking interval of 30 sec, and the number of times of smoking of 13). Main-stream smoke components were trapped by preinstalled glass fiber filters (trapping Cambridge filters (produced by Borgwaldt, 400 Filter 44 mm)).
