555 KS (Canada)
From approximately the middle of this year, BAT (LK+E) plan to
launch 555 Filter Kings in a limited number of outlets in Canada in
co-operation with our affiliated Company, Imperial Tobacco.
As you probably know, the strict smoking & health laws in Canada
require not only that pack declarations of tar, nicotine and co are
made but also that the manufacturer makes returns to Government
showing the actual figures obtained from smoking the brand in a
laboratory during the previous quarter.
Through Stuart Massey we have established that the 'tar'/nic/co
values for 555's found in the Imperial laboratory are very similar
to those obtained in BTC using the new ISO standard. Stuart has
therefore suggested that the returns made to Government (which will
be made on our behalf by Imperial Tobacco) are based on the routine
monthly figures generated in BTC.
To facilitate this, I am requesting that, from May 1992, you copy
Stuart with the routine monthly data you generate for 555 Filter
Kings (G. T. ) to avoid the need for Imperial to duplicate the
analysis in Montreal.
