cig- gold flake king

some research on the cigarette i smoke --- gold flake king
it falls in the category of above 80 mm cigs with length 84 mm
even in one pack of 10 cigs the smoothness varies for one particular cigarette and its number is printed in the innerside flap.
priorly the gold flake was neither a brand nor the process of making cigarttes, gold flake plain was the first in this family, it started about 1915.
its the class of cigarettes made from the bright gold color tobacco,
later itc made this as a brand, targetting higher class sector first, later it shifted its campaign to the sector B too.

the cigarette industry in india is a whooping 15 thousand crore market,
ITC's cigarettes are produced in its state-of-the-art factories at Bengaluru, Munger, Saharanpur and Kolkata. ummmm no hyderabad in there :()

cigarette is the most taxed consumer product of the country

available in a pack of 10 and 20 though i usually purchase it in one's and two's.

i actually wanted to find how much mg is in once cigarette is smoke,( ofcourse not to quit)
though i got to know about the gold flake lights which has about 0.8mg(actually the tobacco leaves are wetted and later vaccum dried to reduce the content) it seems...
actually if there is 10 mg in a cigaratte only 1mg enters us after burning, and about 40 mg direct intake can kill us :-|
ok thats it, if any one knows the actual content of nicotine in gold flake king post it.


ummmm they have their own category of awards to elicit a few...
ITC's
'Best Manufacturer of Cigarettes for the year 2007' by the Tobacco Board based on last three years' performance.

Achieved 5 star Health and Safety Rating from the British Safety Council for its cigarette factories at Bengaluru, Munger, Kolkata and Saharanpur and the "Sword of Honour" for Bengaluru & Sharanpur for 2006-07.
