It was known that, in skin-painting tests, the tar in at least one experi- mental low-tar cigarette caused as many animal tumors as tar in the very highest tar brand.

Such filters have been used in other cigarettes in an attempt to reduce the harmful gases that smokers inhale, but PM USA spokesperson Peggy Roberts would not comment on whether the filter in the new line of cigarettes is different.
Roberts said the company is conducting the test "to understand consumer acceptance of the taste and flavor delivered by this new product." She would not comment on the length of the test, but said the cigarettes would be priced to wholesalers in line with other Marlboro brands, the report said.
PM USA said it will place labels on the cigarette packs with the warning: "There is no such thing as a safe cigarette, including this one." The leaflets also warn smokers that they should not assume that light, ultralight, medium or mild cigarettes are less harmful than full-flavor brands, said the report.
