The USA Food and Drug Administration (FDA) established benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) as a harmful and potentially harmful constituent (HPHC) found in tobacco products. Tobacco manufacturers are required to report HPHC quantities to the FDA; however, there is currently no standardized method for determination of B[a]P in smokeless tobacco products (STPs). This work details a sensitive, selective and rapid method for the determination of B[a]P in STPs, cigarette filler and tobacco. Tobacco is extracted using methanol followed by solid-phase extraction and concentration prior to analysis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry in the selected ion monitoring mode. Cooperation Centre for Scientific Research Relative to Tobacco reference products and 3R4F Kentucky reference cigarette filler were used for method validation. All method validation requirements were met including linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation (LOQ), and stability. Calibration range of 0.5–125 ng mL −1  was achieved with the coefficient of determination ( R  2 ) greater than 0.995. The method LOQ and LOD were 0.729 and 0.216 ng/g, respectively. Using standardized methods for the measurement of HPHCs in tobacco products will reduce variability and ensure accurate data for regulatory reporting.
