This composite list includes principal and flavor ingredients in all of Philip Morris USA’s brands sold in the U.S., including brand recipe flavors as well as the ingredients identified in the Tobacco Ingredients by Brand list. Not all of the ingredients in this list are present in each brand, and no single brand contains all ingredients.
For each ingredient, this alphabetical list includes:
- The “quantity not exceeded” (calculated from the highest level of use in a single brand and expressed as a percentage of the total weight of the tobacco); and
- The function of the ingredient.
The reason we have chosen to provide a composite list rather than a by-brand list is because this list consists primarily of flavors which, when combined in a unique, proprietary manner, give each brand its own unique flavor, taste and aroma. By providing this information as a composite list including quantities not exceeded and the function of the ingredient, we have tried to strike a reasonable balance between providing detailed information about our ingredients and protecting our proprietary brand recipes from disclosure to competitors.
