Raising Nicotine Doses, on the Sly

Want More? You Got It!

Everyone always wants more. Bigger value, less cost. Super-size for only a quarter more.

Well one industry was listening. Cigarette producers have increased the addictive chemical nicotine by about 10 percent in the last decade.

And to their credit, they didn't even announce it. They weren't doing it to boost sales or get new users. There was no advertising stunt involved. They simply wanted to give the public what every consumer wants: more.

Wasn't that nice of them?
