Ingredients and the health risks of smoking
Smoking is a cause of various serious and fatal diseases and the use of ingredients in tobacco products is sometimes questioned and often misunderstood. Ingredients added to tobacco have a specific function in the final product. They should not be confused with the substances formed by the burning of tobacco.
All tobacco products pose risks to health, but based on available scientific evidence, our view is that the ingredients our companies use, at the levels used, do not add to the health risks of smoking. Nor do they encourage people to start smoking or affect a person’s ability to quit.
You will find more information about the health risks of tobacco use in the Health and science 
section of our corporate website. We also have a science website , through which we share our research findings with external audiences. The site is written by scientists for scientists with an interest in tobacco-related research or related disciplines.
Legislation
Countries such as the UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and France have legislation or voluntary agreements that govern the ingredients that may or may not be used in tobacco products. For countries without published legislation, uniform standards are set for the Group based on the laws and scientific standards typically applied to foodstuffs.
