Tobacco companies will need to cut nicotine levels to 0.7 milligrams per gram of tobacco, a fraction of the 17.2 milligrams per gram that most cigarette brands have on average.
Damn, that might actually get most smokers to switch to vaping chaw or zyn
That number doesn’t look right. EU caps it at 1.0 and I’ve never seen a cigarette over 0.8 and those are noticeably rougher than 0.6 which is standard. 17,2 would be crazy even for the US sized portions of things. Haven’t smoked in years but it couldn’t have changed this way.
This site suggests the average cigarette has between 10-12 milligrams of Nicotine, but that the human body only absorbs ~1.2-1.8mg per cigarette smoked
I found the same but it’s an order of magnitude difference. My hypothesis is that it could be some metric/imperial conversion error that’s being parroted by multiple websites that didn’t spot it because that would require a point of reference.
