FTC cigarette rankings

Periodically, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ranks domestic cigarette brands according to tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide content. The test results are obtained by using a sequential smoking machine to ‘‘smoke'' cigarettes to a 23-millimeter butt length. The tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide concentrations (rounded to the nearest milligram) in the residual ‘‘dry'' particulate matter of the smoke are then measured. The accompanying SAS printouts describe the nicotine contents of 500 cigarette brands. (The data are saved in the FTC file.)
