Nicotine and tar content of cigarettes
The Ministry of Health issued an order in July 1997, which set a maximum permissible level for the tar and nicotine content of cigarettes. The tar content of filtered cigarettes sold in Ukraine should not exceed 15 mg per cigarette. Non-filtered cigarettes are allowed a maximum of 22 mg tar per cigarette. The nicotine content limits are 1.3 mg and 1.5 mg per filtered cigarette and per a non-filter cigarette, respectively. This is an improvement from the former 1991 standards adopted from former Soviet Union, when the maximum level of tar was 25 mg and the maximum level of nicotine was 1.5 mg per cigarette.
