A study of the making habits of consumers of fine-cut tobacco was conducted in the Netherlands by a leading market research agency. The objective was to study the making habits of roll-your-own consumers and to determine the nicotine free dry particulate matter (NFDPM) (tar) and nicotine yields of the products they make. A total of 140 consumers, representative of users of the leading Dutch fine-cut tobacco and paper, were asked to roll smoking articles. Using tobacco and paper supplied, they each made 22 articles, applying their normal rolling procedures. An independent analytical laboratory in Germany measured the diameter in three positions along the length, and also determined the weight, tar, and nicotine yields of each individual article. After outlier detection and removal, a total of 2588 sets of results were obtained from 133 consumers. The results show that Dutch consumers make smoking articles that vary in shape, weight, and uniformity of packing. On average, the weight of tobacco used in making was 784 mg, the diameter 7.6 mm, the number of puffs 9.4, the tar yield 13.2 mg, and the nicotine yield 1.2 mg. There was wide variation around each of these means.
