Page History
- IT is a special purpose domain for listing the tobacco ingredients (only) for a tobacco product. Non-tobacco ingredients, such as wrapping paper and filter would not be represented in this domain (see IN domain for non-tobacco ingredients).
- IT is one of two domains that serve as the origin of the consistent identifier variable IGDCMPID (Ingredient or Component Identifier).
- IGDCMPID must represent a unique tobacco ingredient with regard to the attributes listed in 3a-3c, below. If two or more sources of the same variety of tobacco ingredient differ on any of these attributes, they must each be assigned a different value for INGCMPID (e.g., Burley Tobacco 1, Burley Tobacco 2)
- IT additionally contains variables for representing the following attributes of each tobacco ingredient:
- Tobacco Product Master File, if applicable
- The specification or variety of the tobacco
- The complexity of the ingredient, to differentiate between single tobacco ingredients and complex ingredients (tobacco blends), and a separate indicator as to whether a complex tobacco ingredient was made to specifications.
- The tobacco cure method
- At least one record for the overall tobacco component/tobacco filler for the product must be included in the dataset. This will be necessary when quantifying the ingredients (see IQ domain for more information).
