In order to lessen the harm to smokers to achieve the purpose of gain through elevating panaxsaponin contents in mainstream smoke, the determination of ginseng extract and deep processing ginseng extract in cigarette compounding was studied. After smoking, the panaxsaponin was detected in mainstream smoke by thin layer chromatogrpahy (TLC), the monomer ginsenoside, the variation of intrinsic carcinogenic substance benzo [a]-pyrene (B [a] P), carbon monoxide and tar contents in mainstream smoke by HPLC simultaneously. The results show that the ginsenoside exists both in cigarette bouches and mainstream smoke of the cigarettes with Ginseng extract and deep processing ginseng extract after smoking, moreover ginsenoside contents of deep processing ginseng extract of compounding are over common extract. Meanwhile, compared with the blank, B [a] P of the deep processing ginseng extract compounding doesn't increase, carbon monoxide and tar contents descend slightly, the sense-organs quality estimate surpasses the blank.
