The DSI Smoke Generator is the focal point for our cigarette smoking experiments. It has an 80 cigarette hopper that feeds automatically into the smoking chamber, requiring no on-site operator. The mechanical lung delivers direct cigarette smoke at controllable puff volumes and rates to imitate the experience of smoking a cigarette. The customizable smoking parameters allow for precise calibration of the smoke concentrations in the animal chamber. Furthermore the system allows for administration of direct, side-steam or both types of smoke to animals.
