London - Tobacco companies have been adding chemicals to cigarettes to enhance their flavour and make them more addictive, a new report said yesterday.
The joint report by the British charity Imperial Cancer Research Fund (ICRF), the anti-smoking group ASH and the state of Massachusetts revealed more than 60 tobacco industry documents dealing with the use of additives in cigarettes.
Additives are being used to speed the delivery of nicotine to the brain, a news conference was told.
