Results of analysis

Analyst's observations

The sample had the appearance of molasses with fragments of leaf material. At least some of the leaf material had the microscopic characteristics of tobacco leaf and chemical analysis showed the presence of significant quantities of nicotine. Based on a natural nicotine content of dried tobacco ranging from 2 to 8 per cent, the results indicate the sample contains between 2 and 9 per cent tobacco.
