Help A Girl Out!!

I suck at all things Google. Seriously.

And right now, I'm Google-in' to beat the band. I have an argument to win. And DAMNIT! I know I'm right this time.

But I can't find what I need anywhere!!!

It's about the make-up of cigarettes. I have been told that the majority of the nicotine is located in the "back half" of the cigarettes. IOW - there is more "punch" at the end of a smoke.

I have FELT that punch, so I know it's real. But I can't find anything about it anywhere on line. It's making me crazy!! Any one? Can you help me prove it??!!

Mr. I'm-always-right/that-sounds-stupid thinks I'm dreamin' this stuff up!

As much as I'd do anything to help you win a bet, the plain fact is, tobacco is uniform end to end.

Now: When you smoke, the tobacco nearest the filter collects more and more and more, since it acts as the "filter" for the front end. So you do tend to get a bigger hit from the butt end than from a freshly lit, but not because they intend for it to be that way. In fact, for many years, tobacco hasn't even been 'real" tobacco, but a kind of a "paper" made from cut up tobacco leaves.

Sorry.
