Recital 10 a (new)
(10 a) Polonium 210 has been shown to be a significant carcinogen in tobacco. Its presence in cigarettes could be eliminated almost completely by a combination of simple measures. It is thus appropriate to set a maximum yield for Polonium 210 that would result in a reduction of 95% of the current average content of Polonium 210 in cigarettes. An ISO standard to measure Polonium 210 in tobacco should be developed.
