From this analysis it appears ‘hat pipe mix- 
tures contain the largest amount of nicotine in 
the tobacco (2.04-2.85%). Egyptian and 
Turkish cigarette tobaccos come next (1.88- 
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 8% 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
