The Alternative Smoking Regimes (ASR) Task Force was established by the CORESTA Scientific Commission in 2000. The Task Force was charged with developing correlation models for smoke yields between ISO and representative alternative smoking regimes. The overall charge was further divided into sub-parts: in the first instance the models addressed were ‘tar’, nicotine and CO, followed by benchmarking the yields of specified smoke constituents from international products.

This report covers the work done by the Task Force.
