BACKGROUND NOTE: This Lorillard Tobacco Company
document is titled 1978 U.S. Cigarette sales vs. Nicotine. It shows
that there is an optimum nicotine level that creates the greatest
sales. Similar graphs are found on other document sites as well, like
Philip Morris. Such documents, along with others that describe programs
to manipulate nicotine levels (like Lorillard's Nicotine Augmentation
Program), strongly infer that tobacco companies titrate the nicotine
content of their products to create optimum sales.
