Measuring anomalies in cigarette sales by using official data from Spanish provinces: Are there only the anomalies detected by the Empty Pack Surveys (EPS) used by Transnational Tobacco Companies (TTCs)? [PDF]
Cadahia, P., Golpe, A., Mart\'in-\'Alvarez, J. M., Asensio, E.
(2021). Tobacco Induced Diseases, 19(December), 98, 2022 There is literature that questions the veracity of the studies commissioned by the transnational tobacco companies (TTC) to measure the illicit tobacco trade. Furthermore, there are studies that indicate that the Empty Pack Surveys (EPS) ordered by the TTCs are oversized.

Brookings Papers on Economic Activity. Microeconomics, 1998 [Forthcoming in Brookings Papers on Economic Activity] We analyse the major economic issues raised by the 1997 Tobacco Resolution and the ensuing proposed legislation that were intended to settle tobacco litigation in the United States. By settling litigation largely in return for tax increases, the Resolution was a superb example of a "win- win" deal.

Genome-wide analysis of long noncoding RNAs in response to salt stress in Nicotiana tabacum
BMC Plant Biology, 2023 Background Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to play important roles in the response of plants to various abiotic stresses, including drought, heat and salt stress.

Broad Learning System with Takagi-Sugeno Fuzzy Subsystem for Tobacco Origin Identification based on Near Infrared Spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2022 Tobacco origin identification is significantly important in tobacco industry. Modeling analysis for sensor data with near infrared spectroscopy has become a popular method for rapid detection of internal features. However, for sensor data analysis using traditional artificial neural network or deep network models, the training process is extremely time-

Reducing the nicotine content of tobacco by grafting with eggplant
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Nicotine is a stimulant and potent parasympathomimetic alkaloid that accounts for 96–98% of alkaloid content. A reduction in the amount of nicotine in cigarettes to achieve a non-addictive level is necessary.
