Once again studies have confirmed a significant increase in nicotine levels in cigarettes. This time the report comes from Harvard School of Public Health.

Their report found that increases in smoke nicotine yield per cigarette averaged 1.6 percent each year for a total of about 11 percent over a seven-year period, 1997 to 2005.

This is the result of a study of over a 100 brands of cigarettes, and also reported a constant increase in nicotine delivered to the lungs

Of course the tobacco companies dispute the findings. They want to argue that these figures are erroneous, according to their studies. They want us to believe there has not been a substantial increase in nicotine.

It is interesting to note that the higher the level of nicotine, the easier it is to get hooked and harder to kick the habit.
