Dalhamn (1959) used living rats, and the ciliary beat frequency was measured by means of a high speed motion picture camera. In vivo studies were also performed by Guillerm et al (1961) who studied the epithelium of dog tracheas through a Plexiglas window. All the workers mentioned, together with several others, have reported a powerful ciliastatic effect of tobacco smoke.

In recent years increasing attention has been devoted to studies of the difference in ciliastatic effect between various components of tobacco smoke and smoke from different types of cigarettes. Rakieten et al (1952) studied the effect of smoke of . . . [Full Text PDF of this Article]
