Summary

The Nicotine content of seven brands of cigarettes, currently used in Iran, namely products O, Z, S, H, T, B & A has been measured.

The percent of nicotine in various products has an increasing order of O>Z>S>H>T>B>A. Product O with the lowest amount of nicotine is known to be the least popular and A&B with relative high percent ages of nicotine are known to be the most popular cigarettes. The low protein and high sugar levels of some products, which improves the taste and burning quality, also accounts for higher popularity.
