Abstract
tobacco filled smoking article adopted to produce less toxic substances such as carbon monoxide in the combustion gases, adding solid inert, stable non polluting catalysts in or near the tobacco, causing substantial catalytic reduction of carbon monoxide in the combustion gases.
Claims1
A tobacco filled smoking article, comprising cigarettes, cigars or tobacco filled pipes, being adapted to catalytically remove carbon monoxide (CO) from gaseous products of combustion, comprising distributed, in or near combusting material tiny pieces of stable and non poisonous, solid metal oxide catalysts, which instantly will be heated by combustion and the combustion gases and will transform catalytically molecules of carbon monoxide, on its free tiny surfaces, to harmless carbon dioxide, and in the process will not be changing or consuming itself, but will remain in the ash, stuck in the rest of the unburned parts or filters.
