Cigarette with low levels may have high level of nicotine

Information comes from documents of the cigarette manufacturers.
Different pressures as well pull the level of substances.

Using a brand of cigarettes with low levels does not guarantee lower levels of tar and nicotine to users. This discovery is part of the information industry itself to cigarettes and is available to the public from court proceedings in the United States.

To understand this, we need to know before they are dosed substances present in cigarette smoke to be classified as low. International standards were established for nicotine, tar and carbon dioxide released in cigarette smoke. A smoke machine makes swallow in a controlled manner and measure the concentrations of the toxic smoke released.

What the factories was discovered that the cigarettes smoked in the machine release low levels of nicotine and tar. However, when used by human smokers, offer amounts on average 50% more of these substances. What determines the difference is the elasticity of the cigarette when subjected to pressures of different pull.

Force in pull

The problem for smokers is the observation of two aspects of the behavior of smokers. Regular smokers, the brand with less nicotine use, change their pattern of swallow, or pulling the air stronger and more frequently. The depth of the pull and change its frequency to maintain the same level of nicotine in the blood to the user is accustomed.

The discovery, made by the cigarette companies themselves, has important ethical implications. To believe that the change to be a brand of cigarette with low levels, a smoker may postpone its decision to stop smoking and in fact continue to receive the same load of chemicals.
