Different studies have shown different results regarding which cigarette brand has the most nicotine. Here are some of the findings:
- A study conducted in Iran analyzed 13 popular brands of imported cigarettes and nine popular brands of domestic cigarettes, and found that cigarette brand "Winston" contained the highest amounts of nicotine (14.40 mg) among the imported brands.
- A study conducted at Penn State University found that Newport cigarettes had the most nicotine of any American brand tested, at 13.4 mg per cigarette. A Marlboro red contains 10.9 mg of nicotine, and the median of all the brands tested was 10.2 mg per cigarette.
- Another study analyzed capsule cigarettes in the US and found that Marlboro brand cigarettes had the highest level of nicotine (17.3 mg/g of tobacco) on average.
- A study published in Tobacco Control found that the average amount of nicotine in full-flavored cigarettes ranged from 1.39 to 2.5 mg per cigarette, depending on the brand.
- According to the University of Floridas Center for Tobacco Research and Education, cigarettes typically contain between 1.1mg to 1.8mg of nicotine per cigarette.
- A study conducted in 2006 found that Marlboro, Newport, and Camel cigarettes delivered significantly more nicotine to the body than they did in 1999.
Overall, it seems that Newport and Marlboro are among the brands with the highest nicotine content, but the exact amount can vary depending on the study and the specific type of cigarette.
