Question: is there less nicotine in ultra light cigarettes

Answer: No, Cigarettes labeled as Lights, Milds, or Low-tar, are considered to have a lighter, less pronounced flavour than regular cigarettes. These cigarette brands may be listed as having lower levels of tar, nicotine, or other chemicals (as ``inhaled'' by a smoking machine). However, the scientific evidence is that switching from regular to light or low-tar cigarettes does not reduce the health risks of smoking or lower the smoker's exposure to the nicotine, tar, and carcinogens present in cigarette smoke.
