The products resulting from the pyrolysis of tobacco and a number of nitrogenous organic compounds similar, if not identical, to those found in tobacco have been compared. Similarities have been noted in the composition of the various pyrolyzates, but essentially no physiologically active materials were found. Generalities with regard to pyrolysis of nitrogenous organic substances have been suggested by the data assembled.
