In a subsequent study of four popular king size cigarettes (see Table 6), 
Kozlowski (1981, p. 159) found that 
the same cigarette can easily rise from a low-tar to a high-tar 
category [through an increase in] the number of puffs taken 
from it, within the range of puffs per minute consistent with 
human smoking behavior. Based on the standard assay, brand 
B has 1 7 percent more tar than brand C; however, based on a 
10-puff estimate, their tar deliveries are identical. Those 
smokers who take 14 puffs per cigarette are getting 58 percent 
more tar than would be expected from the standard yields. 
Rawbone (1984), in a study of 400 middle-tar and low-tar smokers in 
the United Kingdom, found that tar delivery varied significantly between 
middle- and low-tar cigarettes but noticeably less than expected. That is, 
where a 46-percent lower tar delivery was expected with the low-tar 
cigarettes, a 32-percent reduction was observed. Furthermore, with regard 
to tar delivery, 98 percent of the middle-tar cigarette smokers fell within the 
established bounds of 16.50 to 22.49 mg delivery, whereas only 70 percent
