A Study of the Effects of Altering the Tar/Nicotine Ratio in Experimental Tobacco Carcinogenesis*

R F Davies, J K Whitehead
PMCID: PMC2008530  PMID: 5428614

Abstract

There was no statistically significant difference in specific mouse skin carcinogenicity between smoke condensate from plain, flue-cured tobacco cigarettes with a normal tar to nicotine ratio and condensate from filter-tip cigarettes made from selected flue-cured tobaccos with a reduced tar to nicotine ratio.
