Abstract
The concentration of 30 minor and trace elements in five different bra nds of Nigerian Cigarette tobacco, one brand of Egyptian tobacco and i n eight raw tobacco leaves sampled from different locations in Nigeria has been determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry t echnique. Results obtained were compared with cigarette tobaccos from India, U.S.A., Iran, New Zealand and Turkey. Results of analysis of SR M Citrus leaves standard material showed that the data have been accur ately acquired.
