This information about tai- and nicotine yields of
cigarettes will be given publicity by the Health
Education Counci"I, and by others as soon as it
can
be marle available.

There is sme cvidence that, since the publication
of the tar and nicotino -yields last April, soine
smokcrs -i-ive chan -ed to a. brand- with a lower
tar
yield than th~lt which they smaRed hitherto. There
hr~s bech a marked increase in the number of
brands
with low tar yields and a reduction of brands with
high tar-yields. In part this is because of the
introduct ion and withdrn%,.,al of brands but -
ELI sb
becauce manufacturcrs have reduced the t,'ar
yields
-of many bLrand.-i, in i_ome~-,cast~,s Yety

very much we-lcorac this action by-the induuiry.
