A 1984 BAT document lists as high priority the development of alternative designs (that do not invite obvious criticism) which will allow the smoker to obtain significant enhanced deliveries should he so wish (British American Tobacco 1984b).

In June 1988 the tobacco industry lost its first court case involving liability in the death of a smoker after heavy, chronic cigarette use. Although the decision was subsequently reversed in 1990, it represents a significant application of tort law. The question of addiction liability was the core of a landmark class action case against the tobacco industry in federal court in New Orleans (Castano v. The American Tobacco Co.). (This case was settled as part of the general settlement see later discussion). 

Rodgman et al. (3294) described the composition of an aliphatic ester fraction isolated from MSS generated by cigarettes fabricated from an American tobacco blend, burley tobacco, or Oriental tobacco. Aliphatic ester fractions almost identical with those from the smokes were also isolated from flue-cured tobacco, burley, and Oriental tobaccos. With the analytical technology available in the early 1960s, the aliphatic ester fraction was shown to consist of a series of esters whose alcohol moiety varied from 1-dodecanol (C12) to... 

At British American Tobacco Company (BAT) in 1966, Chakraborty and Thornton (646a) studied the effect of various additives on MSS PAHs. The changes in the per cigarette yields of a variety of PAHs were determined. They included anthracene, B[a]A, benzo[gft/]fluoranthene, benzo[ft]fluo-ranthene, B[a]P, B[c]P, chrysene, fluoranthene, fluorene, methylfluorene, phenanthrene, several alkylphenanthrenes, dimethylphenanthrene, pyrene, and several benzofluorenes.t... 

Amino acids, both as free acids and as acids bound within protein molecules, are present in all of the tobacco types (flue-cured, burley, Oriental, Maryland) used in the American tobacco blend.
