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.
