Last record of Trogontherium cuvieri (Mammalia, Rodentia) from the late Pleistocene of China
Changes in tar yields and cigarette design in samples of Chinese cigarettes, 2009 and 2012
The use of ventilation to decrease TNCO emissions is misleading smokers to believe that they are smoking a 'light/low' tar cigarette that is healthier, and is potentially forestalling the quitting behaviours that would begin to reduce the health burden of tobacco in China, and so should be prohibited
Toxic metal and nicotine content of cigarettes sold in China, 2009 and 2012
Tobacco in Chinese cigarettes purchased in seven geographically disbursed cities contains consistently high levels of metals, including carcinogens like Cd. One source may be the improper use of fertilisers. These numbers should be monitored more carefully and regulated by health officials
