  • Parliament Ingredients by Packing

There are other ingredients added to tobacco at levels less than 0.1% in PM USA cigarettes, including the natural and artificial flavorings that give a cigarette product its unique characteristics, as well as ingredients in the non-tobacco components.

COMMENTS New Players for the Old Tobacco Game: the Czech Republic and Romania; It's Time to Change the Rules Susan Meyer* I. INTRODUCTION Just a few years ago, any Romanian mother and child could have enacted the following scene: A mother and young son are driving in downtown Bucharest. As the woman slows her car to a stop, her son exclaims, "Mommy, Mommy, I see a camel!" In an unperturbed tone, his mother responds, "Yes, dear." "Really, really Mommy! I saw a camel!" the boy shouts. Without taking her eyes off the road, his mother responds, "I saw it too, Honey." "Mommy, why is there a camel on the traffic light?" "It's an ad," his mother says. "An ad for what?" her son asks. "Cigarettes," she responds, slowing down for another yellow, camel-covered traffic light.
