The laboratory of the Government Chemist in London undertakes the analysis of tobacco smokes in order to produce league tables (Fig. 20) of the tar and nicotine content of all cigarette brands available in the UK, on behalf of the British government. In this context tar is defined as the total particulate matter present in the main-stream smoke (inhaled smoke), adjusted for its content of water and nicotine alkaloids. Nicotine is defined as the total nicotine-type alkaloids present in the mainstream smoke both are expressed in mg per cigarette. The tar and nicotine league tables are published every six months, and include details of approximately 130 brands of cigarette. 

Because of the importance of the tar and nicotine content of cigarettes, until the mid-1980s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published statistics on the tar and nicotine yield of cigarette brands manufactured in the United States. The FTC used to conduct its own yield tests by using smoking machines and today reports the results of the same kind of tests conducted by tobacco companies, which the FTC requires them to do (Cotton, 1993). 

The more than a dozen cigarette brands tipped with carbon-containing filter tips were already losing market share by the time Dalhamn et al. reported the results of their study of the mouth absorption of water-soluble vapor-phase components (892). Their scientific communication, plus the consumer unacceptable carbon-filter off-taste, produced not only a further reduction of sales but also diminished interest, both within and outside of the tobacco industry, in vapor-phase ciliastats as participants in respiratory problems attributed to cigarette MSS. 

In a memorandum to the Department of Health (Canada), Levine (23A10) described the results of an inter-laboratory comparison on Hoffmann analytes in the MSSs from three different cigarette brands.
