Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide Content of 1107 Varieties of Domestic
Cigarettes.
DATES: June 29, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the full report are available from the FTC's
Public Reference Branch, Room 130, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., N.W.,

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Phillip S. Priesman, Attorney, Federal Trade Commission, Bureau of
Consumer Protection, 6th St. and Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., Washington,

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. This Report contains data on 1107
varieties of cigarettes manufactured and sold in the United States in
1993. 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, 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.
