As a result of these evaluations, U.S. Tobacco believes that no in- 

 gredient, which it adds to tobacco in the manufacture of its prod- 

 ucts, would result in adverse health consequences to a consumer of 

 our products. 



Without revealing proprietary information, I can tell you that 

 every ingredient which U.S. Tobacco adds to tobacco in the manu- 

 facture of our products is a common food item, or approved for use 

 in food, with the one single exception of denatured alcohol which 

 you've heard a lot about today, which is the only substance ap- 

 proved by the B.A.T.F. for use in the manufacture of tobacco prod- 

 ucts.
