The ciliotoxicity of cigarette and cigar smoke was studied in acute in vivo animal experiments. Significantly lower toxicity was found for cigar smoke, contrary to what was expected. The smoke with the highest concentration of volatile compounds measured was found to be the least toxic. A connection between toxicity vs water solubility and pH of the particulate compounds is possible.
