The relationship of filter ventilation to changes in chemical yields and toxicity. With increased filter ventilation, smokers take higher puff volumes and inhale more toxicants and mutagens, tobacco burns longer and at a reduced temperature that increases incomplete combustion with increased toxicants and mutagens, and increased particle size becomes a bigger carrier for toxicants and mutagens.
