Information on tar and nicotine yields on cigarette packages.

R M Davis, P Healy and S A Hawk

Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, Centers for Disease Control, Rockville, MD 20857.

We examined information on tar and nicotine yields on the packages of 160 cigarette brands, 58 percent of the 275 brands for which tar and nicotine yields were listed in a recent Federal Trade Commission report. The tar yield was indicated on 14 percent, the nicotine yield was indicated on 11 percent. As tar yield increased among brands, the yield was progressively less likely to be shown on the package and was not disclosed on the package of any cigarette yielding 11 mg or more of tar.
