Analysis of metals leached from smoked cigarette litter
BACKGROUND Littered cigarette butts represent potential point sources for environmental contamination. In areas with substantial amounts of cigarette litter, environmental hazards may arise as chemical components are leached from the filters and smoked tobacco. OBJECTIVE The three main aims of this study were: (1) to quantify the amount of Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Sr, Ti and Zn lea...
متن کاملConsumer perception of cigarette yields: is the message relevant?
Over 1200 randomly selected subjects from the U.S. and key European countries were interviewed by telephone, to establish how consumers perceive the meaning and relative value scale of tar yields of commercial cigarettes. Some 50% of respondents interpreted numerical tar yields as being precise quantitative predictors of intake related to health effects. A less precise quantitative intuition is...
متن کاملMortality and type of cigarette smoked.
Twenty-five years ago, cigarette smokers in the United Kingdom smoked plain cigarettes with an average tar yield of probably about 35 mg. Now smokers predominantly smoke filter cigarettes and average tar yields have been reduced by half. Epidemiological evidence comparing mortality in smokers of differing types of cigarettes is reviewed. Compared with smokers of higher tar plain cigarettes, smo...

However, during the 1950s and 1960s, American cigarette companies spent millions of...
متن کاملConsumer understanding of cigarette emission labelling.
The optimal way to display constituent levels (e.g. tar) on tobacco packaging has not received adequate attention but has important policy implications. Adult smokers and non-smokers (n = 836) were surveyed in France using Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing to assess perceptions of constituent levels displayed numerically (brand-specific tar and nicotine numbers from smoking machines and t...
