Preventing initiation of tobacco product use, promoting cessation of tobacco use, and protecting the public from exposure to second hand smoke are recognised by the World Health organization (WHO) Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) and by the WHO Study Group on Tobacco Product Regulation (TobReg) as the most effective approaches to reducing tobacco related morbidity and mortality. However, the FCTC also recognises the need for tobacco product regulation in articles 9 and 10 of the treaty. In order to inform that process TobReg has developed a series of reports that begin to provide a scientific foundation for tobacco product regulation. 1–6 This paper summarises a proposal, and the considerations that led to it, developed by a joint International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) and WHO working group, and approved by TobReg, which presents performance standards for cigarettes and a strategy to use them to mandate a reduction in the toxicant yields for cigarette smoke.WHY A NEW APPROACH WAS NECESSARY AND OTHER APPROACHES CONSIDERED The most common measurements used historically to categorise cigarette smoke have been machine measured tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide (TNCO) yields per cigarette based on the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC)/International Standards Organization (ISO) testing regimen. There is a current scientific consensus that these per cigarette yields do not provide valid estimates of human exposure or of relative human exposure when smoking different brands of cigarettes. 1 7–9 Communication of these measures to smokers as estimates of their exposure or risk creates harm by misleading smokers to believe that differences in exposures and risk are likely to occur with switching to cigarette brands with different machinemeasured yields. This ongoing harm precludes continued acceptance of current regulatory strategies based on per cigarette machine measured TNCO levels and necessitates development of new regulatory approaches. Machine smoking regimens other than the FTC/ISO regimen have also been examined, particularly ones with more intense puffing parameters and which block some or all of the ventilation holes in cigarette filters. Examples include those developed by the US State of Massachusetts and the Canadian Government. These regimens generally produce higher yields per cigarette and reduce the
