1. “….changes in exposure levels could reflect modifications to cigarette design that were unrelated to RIP laws. Tobacco companies have the opportunity to change the tobacco blend and other design characteristics of their cigarettes at any point” (June, et al. 6).
2. In tobacco induced diseases (June, et al. 6) wrote that there can be change in exposure levels and these reflect in the design of cigarettes without relations to RIP laws. The author added that, through Tobacco companies, there is the possibility of changing tobacco blends and all relevant design characteristics of their cigarette products.
3. While changing of tobacco blends and design characteristics rely on the input of companies to create modifications related to RIP laws. According to (June, et al. 6), “changes in exposure levels could reflect modifications to cigarette design.”
4. In Tobacco Induced Diseases June, et al. wrote that, records of changes in the levels of exposure are evidence in possible design modifications made on cigarettes. Further, he wrote of the role that companies have in taking charge of making changes in blending of tobacco and changing design characteristics to conform to RIP laws at any stage of production (6).
5. Significant reflection of Modification in cigarette design can be through aspects such as reduction to exposure levels. This is necessary for cigarettes not following reduced ignition propensity (RIP). Companies have a direct role in ensuring the production of cigarettes, which are in conformity to the regulations of RIP laws. They can ensure this at any stage of production if they choose to take advantage of the opportunities they have for doing so (June, et al. 6).
