Abstract :In this study, 210 Po radioactivity in tobacco and effective dose estimation from smoke inhalation were investigated. 14 most frequently used cigarette brands in Turkey were used for this purpose. 210 Po average radioactivity in tobacco was found to be 25.4 ± 2.0 Bq/kg. 210 Po mean annual effective dose was found to be 181.8 µSv/y.Keywords : 210Po radioactivity, tobacco, inhalation effective dose
