Abstract
This invention provides tobacco and non-tobacco smoking compositions which deliver smoke of reduced tar and nicotine content, and with a substantially reduced carbon monoxide content. In one of its embodiments this invention provides smoking preparations which contain a combustible filler, and uniformly dispersed therein a catalyst composition consisting of (a) fine ash, and (b) a transition metal compound.
Claims14
A smoking preparation comprising a tobacco filler having fine ash uniformly dispersed therein in an effective amount to reduce carbon monoxide content of smoke delivered by a tobacco filler.
A smoking preparation comprising (1) a tobacco filler, and uniformly dispersed therein (2) a catalyst composition comprising (a) fine ash, and (b) at least one component selected from transition metal compounds.
A smoking preparation comprising (1) combustible filler selected from natural tobacco and reconstituted tobacco, and uniformly dispersed therein (2) between about 0.005-10 weight percent, based on the weight of filler, of the catalyst composition comprising (a) between about 1-10 parts by weight of at least one component selected from potassium and calcium compounds, and (b) between about 0.5-10 parts by weight of at least one component selected from iron and manganese compounds;
- wherein the particle size of the catalyst composition is less than about 77 microns.
A smoking prepartion comprising (1) combustible filler selected from natural tobacco and reconstituted tobacco, and uniformly dispersed therein (2) between about 0.005-10 weight percent, based on the weight of filler, of a catalyst composition comprising ash;
- wherein the particle size of the catalyst composition is less than about 77 microns.
A smoking preparation comprising (1) combustible filler selected from natural tobacco and reconstituted tobacco, and uniformly dispersed therein (2) between about 0.005-10 weight percent, based on the weight of filler, of a catalyst composition comprising (a) between about 1-10 parts by weight of ash, and (b) between about 0.5-10 parts by weight of at least one component selected from iron and manganese compounds;
- wherein the particle size of the catalyst composition is less than about 77 microns.
A method of reducing the carbon monoxide content of smoke delivered by a smoking tobacco preparation which comprises uniformly dispersing in the tobacco filler of the smoking preparation prior to the smoking process a catalyst composition comprising fine ash.
A method of reducing the carbon monoxide content of smoke delivered by a smoking tobacco preparation which comprises uniformly dispersing in the tobacco filler of the smoking preparation prior to the smoking process a catalyst composition comprising (a) fine ash, and (b) at least one component selected from transition metal compounds.
A smoking preparation comprising a combustible filler having fine ash uniformly dispersed therein, wherein the ash component consists of the water-soluble fraction of ash.
A method of reducing the carbon monoxide content of smoke delivered by a smoking preparation which comprises uniformly dispersing in the combustible filler of the smoking preparation prior to the smoking process a catalyst composition consisting of the water-soluble fraction of ash.
A method of reducing the carbon monoxide content of smoke delivered by a smoking preparation which comprises uniformly dispersing in the combustible filler of the smoking preparation prior to the smoking process a catalyst composition comprising (a) the water-soluble fraction of ash, and (b) at least one component selected from transition metal compounds.
