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.
