Estimating the term…
The traditional filters used in cigarettes are found to be ineffective in trapping the toxic chemical compounds which cigarette produces during combustion. The current invention aims to provide systems and methods (or to a universal filter) to reduce amines and nitrosamines in cigarette smoke vapors through a filter functionalized with olive tree polyphenols. Amines and Nitrosamines are highly toxic chemicals in the smoke and aerosol of a combusted cigarette. Olive polyphenols are able to trap amines and nitrosamines by establishing weak and strong interactions with these compounds by trapping these compounds in the filter.
A polymer-based universal filter for cigarettes and/or vaping devices, the polymer-based universal filter comprising an inhibitor to inhibit the formation of toxic reactive compounds within the cigarette and/or in the aerosol formed by it, the inhibitor includes at least one olive tree polyphenolic compound, functionalized to the universal filter, and the functionalization includes chemical reactions for covalent bond formation between the at least one olive tree polyphenolic compound and a polymer component of the polymer-based the universal filter.
