OBJECTIVE
To compare the nicotine content of 12 unfiltered brands of bidi cigarettes (hand rolled cigarettes imported from India) with 8 popular brands of filtered and unfiltered US and conventional cigarettes from India.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES
Identical laboratory procedures were used to determine nicotine content (in duplicate) and physical characteristics.
RESULTS
The nicotine concentration in the tobacco of bidi cigarettes (21.2 mg/g) was significantly greater than the tobacco from the commercial filtered (16.3 mg/g) and unfiltered cigarettes (13.5 mg/g).
CONCLUSIONS
Bidi cigarettes contain higher concentrations of nicotine than conventional cigarettes. Therefore, it is logical to presume that bidi smokers are at risk of becoming nicotine dependent. These findings belief a popular belief among US teens that bidis are a safe alternative to commercial cigarettes.
目的
比较12个品牌的无过滤嘴比迪烟（从印度进口的手卷烟）与8个美国流行品牌的有过滤嘴和无过滤嘴香烟以及印度传统香烟的尼古丁含量。
主要观察指标
采用相同的实验室程序测定尼古丁含量（一式两份）和物理特性。
结果
比迪烟烟草中的尼古丁浓度（21.2毫克/克）显著高于商业过滤嘴香烟（16.3毫克/克）和无过滤嘴香烟（13.5毫克/克）的烟草。
结论
比迪烟所含尼古丁浓度高于传统香烟。因此，可以合理推测比迪烟吸烟者有尼古丁依赖的风险。这些发现打破了美国青少年中一种普遍的观念，即比迪烟是商业香烟的安全替代品。
