Source: Report of Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide of the Smoke of
1206 Varieties of Domestic Cigarettes For the Year 1994,
Federal Trade Commission; for more recent sources, see the
following note.
NOTE: As indicated above, the source for the numbers is the Report of Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide of the Smoke of 1206 Varieties of Domestic Cigarettes For the Year 1994. Anyone using the tables should therefore check the numbers against the most recent available source. For FTC reports, this appears to be Tar, Nicotine, and Carbon Monoxide of the Smoke of 1294 Varieties of Domestic Cigarettes For the Year 1998. According to an article at http://freegovinfo.info/archive/200608, the last report was released in September 1999 and the Federal Trade Commission has continued collecting data on nicotine but has not published reports on the findings. However, there is an FTC document posted in response to a request under the Freedom of Information Act at http://www.ftc.gov/foia/frequentrequests/foia2007-00482.pdf. It appears to contain the tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide content of most major brands of cigarettes from 1998 through 2005. For more recent figures, see the section titled "Searching Online for Recent Tar and Nicotine Numbers" on this page.
Whichever source you use, be careful to note the precise brand and packaging as the content can vary widely in similar varieties. For example, the figures given for Carlton cigarettes at http://www.bigsixsmokes.com/Carlton.shtml indicate that 120s have about five times the tar and nicotine content of Kings and 100s.
