The sample used is a sample of kretek cigarettes at different traders. Quantitative analysis of nicotine was determined by UV spectrophotometric method. From the results of research with a wavelength (λ) of 260 nm with the equation y= bX+a so that the correlation coefficient (r) is 0.9963. The results showed that the average nicotine levels in kretek cigarettes A, B, and C were 0.8889 mg/stem, 1.1719 mg/stem, and 1.8498 mg/stem. This shows that samples A and B meet the requirements permitted by Government Regulation No. 81 of 1999 concerning the safety of cigarettes for health, namely 1.5 mg/stem.
