<Tr> <Th> Website </Th> <Td> Official Website </Td> </Tr> <P> Natural American Spirit (often referred to as American Spirits) is an American brand of cigarette and fine tobacco products, manufactured in the United States by the Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company . The company was founded in 1982 by Bill Drake, author of "The Cultivators Handbook of Natural Tobacco", Robert Marion, Chris Webster, and Eb Wicks, a plumbing contractor who took out a loan to finance the startup . In January 2002 the company was acquired by Reynolds American and is now a wholly owned independent subsidiary of Reynolds American, which is in turn 42% owned by British American Tobacco . Japan Tobacco announced in September 2015 that it acquired the right to sell Natural American Spirit products in markets outside the United States . </P> <P> Natural American Spirit products are "100% Additive - Free Tobacco", though they include the standard generic Surgeon General tobacco warning on the packs in accordance with federal regulation standards, which currently states "no additives in our tobacco does NOT mean a safer cigarette". This was part of an FTC ruling in 2000 and agreement resulting from allegations that the advertisement of additive - free cigarettes made consumers feel that the product might be less addictive or safer than regular cigarettes . Research by US and German government health agencies found significant levels of nitrates in some types of pure additive - free tobacco and its smoke . </P> <P> California Attorney General Jerry Brown announced on March 1, 2010, that his office has secured an agreement with Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Company, Inc., the manufacturer of American Spirit tobacco products, that requires the company to clearly disclose that its organic tobacco is "no safer or healthier" than other tobacco products . Attorneys General from 32 other states and the District of Columbia signed onto the agreement: Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin . </P>
