The goal of LTS was a cigarette containing greater levels of free nicotine in an enhanced alkaline environment.46 By 1980, the company had concluded that we have sufficient expertise available to build a lowered mg tar cigarette which will deliver as much free nicotine as a Marlboro, Winston or Kent without increasing the total nicotine delivery above that of a Light product.47 Apart from DAP-BL recon, Philip Morris experimented with other kinds of ammonia technology
Furthermore, technological developments are essential for increasing market expansion
