LTR Industries specializes in the tobacco reconstitution process and in helping the tobacco companies control their nicotine (Castano Complaint 45). An LTR advertisement entitled "More Nicotine, or Less." published in tobacco trade publications (Tobacco Report March 1992) states: Nicotine levels are becoming a growing concern to the designers of modern cigarettes, particularly those with lower tar deliveries. The Kimberly-Clark tobacco reconstitution process used by LTR Industries permits adjustments of nicotine to your exact requirements. These adjustments will not affect the other important properties of customized reconstituted tobacco produced at LTR Industries: low tar delivery, high filling power, high yield, and the flexibility to convey organoleptic modifications. We can help you control your tobacco. (Tobacco Reporter ad 3/92, Slade Statement 3/25/94). LTR Industries advertises that there process permits adjustments of nicotine to your exact requirements in tobacco trade publications (The Times 6/12/94).
