Determination of cigarette smoke particle density from mass and mobility measurements in a millikan cell

The density of diluted and aged cigarette smoke particles was determined using particle mass and mobility measurements obtained in a Millikan cell. The density was found to be 1.12 ± 0.02 g cm −3. This value is higher than the assumption of unit density previously accepted.
