Remarks:
- The published figures represent mean values of determinations undertaken over the whole sampling period.
- Brands with the same figure for tar and nicotine yields are listed in alphabetical order.
- International Standards methods employed for the determination are ISO 3308:2012, ISO 4387:2019, ISO10362-1:2019, ISO 8243:2013, and ISO 10315:2021.
- The estimates of uncertainty for the methods summarized below are based on data published by the International Organisation for Standardization and results reported by recent Asia Collaborative Study.
| Mean tar yield, mg | Uncertainty, mg |
|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | ± 1.0 |
| 5 to 9 | ± 1.4 |
| 10 to 14 | ± 2.1 |
| 15 to 17 | ± 2.6 |
| Mean nicotine yield, mg | Uncertainty, mg |
|---|---|
| 0.1 to 0.4 | ± 0.10 |
| 0.5 to 1.0 | ± 0.15 |
| 1.1 to 1.5 | ± 0.22 |
