From this analysis it appears that pipe mix- 

 tures contain the largest amount of nicotine in 

 the tobacco (2.04-2.85%). Egyptian and 

 Turkish cigarette tobaccos come next (1.38- 

 1.74%). Virginian cigarette tobacco shows 

 similar figures (1.40-1.60%). French tobacco 

 (Caporal) contains 2.60%, and Perique 5.30%. 

 For all practical purposes the tobaccos con- 

 sumed by the public according to this report 

 seldom contain more than 3% of nicotine and 

 generally less, the average being about 2%, 

 which is much lower than previous writers lead 

 us to expect. 



The cigarette, whether Egyptian, Turkish 

 or American, yields the least amount of its total
