what the smokers will actually take in, and that is related to con- 

 centrations. 



I have a copy of an American Lung Association document, which 

 I, without objection, will submit to the record, Exhibit 20. 



This was a 1993 study. The study looked at the levels of 

 continine, a biological mark of nicotine intake in the bodies of 300 

 smokers. The study found, and I quote, "Subject to smoked low 

 yield brands at continued levels that were continine levels that 

 were virtually indistinguishable from those of smokers using high 

 yield brands." 



Well, if that's the case, the smoker is getting as much nicotine 

 from these so-called low tar/low nicotine cigarettes as someone 

 using a regular cigarette, which it doesn't even pretend to be lower 

 in nicotine. 



I also wanted to make another point to illustrate this issue. We 

 have a study by a tobacco industry consultant by the name of Dr. 

 Gio Gk)ri, and without objection, this will be introduced in the 

 record as Exhibit 22.
