Tar and nicotine yields were determined for 85 brands of cigarettes available in Canada. Generally, longer cigarettes and those without filter tended to have higher tar and nicotine contents. No significant regional differences could be detected. A considerable range in tar and nicotine content was observed between brands of similar size and type. The results parallel the findings reported in related studies and again suggest that a cigarette of relatively low tar and nicotine content, which is probably less hazardous, can be manufactured readily.
