FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

 

Report of the Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Content of 933 
Varieties of Domestic Cigarettes

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Trade Commission publishes the Report of the Tar, 
Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Content of 933 Varieties of Domestic 
Cigarettes.

DATES: October 25, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the full report are available from the FTC's 
Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., 
Washington, DC 20580. (202) 326-3222.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Phillip S. Priesman Attorney, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of 
Consumer Protection, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 
20580. Telephone (202) 326-2484.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: These are the most recent test results of 
the tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide levels of the smoke of domestic 
cigarettes reported by the FTC. The Tobacco Institute Testing 
Laboratory (TITL), a private laboratory operated by the cigarette 
industry, conducted the tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide testing for 
the widely-available domestic cigarette varieties. This testing was 
conducted under the review of a representative of the FTC through 
periodic unannounced inspections. TITL provided the results to the 
respective cigarette companies. The companies provided the data 
generated by TITL regarding their own brands to the FTC in response to 
compulsory process issued by the Commission. Cigarette smoke from 
generic (no brand-name), private label, and not-widely-available 
cigarettes was not tested by TITL, but was tested by the cigarette 
companies and provided under compulsory process to the FTC. The 
methodology, processes and procedures that the companies and TITL 
employed are the same as those the Commission has followed in the past.

    By direction of the Commission.
Donald S. Clark,
Secretary.
