However, BATs own data show that some of its cigarettes delivered far more nicotine and tar to machines which had the

In the most extreme example, in a test carried out in 1987, the “real smoking” machine drew 86% more nicotine and 114% more tar from Players Extra Light than the ISO machine detected, although smoke intake was only 27% higher
