Claims18
A smoking product consisting essentially of a homogeneous mixture of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0, and from one to 4 parts by weight of tobacco, per one part by weight of said cellulose acetate.
A smoking product consisting essentially of a homogeneous mixture of particles of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0 and particles of tobacco, said particles being bound together by sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, said product containing from 10 to 50 weight percent of said cellulose acetate, from one to 3 weight percent of said sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the balance consists essentially of tobacco.
A smoking product consisting essentially of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0 and having blended therein at least one additive substance selected from the group consisting of flavor additives, burning assistants, ash modifiers, humectants and nicotine.
A process of manufacturing a smoking product which consists essentially of blending finely divided tobacco in a dope containing from 5 to 15 weight percent of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0 dissolved in a solvent selected from the group consisting of acetone and an aqueous acetone solution, whereby to form a slurry, forming a film of said slurry and then evaporating said solvent from the film.
A process of manufacturing a smoking product which consists essentially of blending particles of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0, tobacco particles and an aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose;
- forming a sheet of the blend and then evaporating the water from the sheet.
A process of manufacturing a smoking product which consists essentially of blending a burning assistant selected from the group consisting of potassium nitrate and magnesium formate in a dope of cellulose acetate having a degree of substitution of from 0.5 to 2.0 dissolved in a solvent for said cellulose acetate, forming the blend into a sheet and then evaporating the solvent from the sheet.
