title: The scientific basis of tobacco product regulation.
abstract: This report presents the conclusions and recommendations of TobReg from its fourth meeting, where the Study Group deliberated on a number of topics in the field of tobacco product regulation and produced the following advisory notes and recommendations: an advisory note on smokeless tobacco products: health effects, implications for harm reduction and research needs; an advisory note on 'fire safer' cigarettes: approaches to reduced ignition propensity; a recommendation on mandated lowering of toxicants in cigarette smoke: tobacco-specific nitrosamines and selected other constituents; and a recommendation on cigarette machine smoking regimens. The four sections of this report address these four issues, and the Study Group's recommendations are set out at the end of each section. Its overall recommendations are summarized in section 5.
