A comprehensive arsenic analysis of 8 brands of American nonfilter cigarettes was performed in 1961 and again in 1965. A steady decline in the arsenic content was noted since our original analysis in 1957. Arsenic also was found in the phenolic fraction of cigarette‐smoke condensate. At the present level it is doubtful that cigarette‐smoke arsenic is a strong carcinogen unless the smoker consumes 2 or more packages a day. It is also probable that the arsenic carcinogen in cigarette smoke is triphenyl arsine, which the authors recently have found to have carcinogenic activity on mouse skin.
