. Sensory testing of cigarette smoke presents some unique problems to the sensory specialist. This is due to a variety of reasons including the high degree of similarity between blended cigarettes and a high degree of variability between individual cigarettes. In the cigarette industry, a large effort has been placed on adapting and developing new methods of collecting and analyzing sensory‐data on both flavorants and cigarette smoke. These methods include odor profiling and multidimensional scaling based on attributes and acceptability scales. In addition, extensive research has been conducted to determine the number of relevent dimensions to smoking and the types of changes that could affect consumer acceptance or purchase behavior.
