780000 US Cigarette Sales vs. nicotine
Abstract
The following Lorillard Tobacco Company document shows that the tobacco industry is interested in the relationship between nicotine levels and cigarette 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 would titrate the nicotine content of their products to create optimum sales.
