BACKGROUND NOTE: Today's Document speaks for itself:

Quote:

A widely held theory holds that most people smoke for the narcotic effect (relaxing, sedative) that comes from nicotine....Although more people talk about "taste," is is likely that greater numbers smoke for the narcotic value that comes from the nicotine.

...This may help account for Kool's success and may suggest a route for us to follow to capture some of Kool's business.

...This ties in with the information we have from focus groups sessions and other sources that suggest that Kool is considered to be good for "after marijuana" to maintain the "high" or for mixing with marijuana, or "instead."
