Aim to limit or eliminate the harmful substances produced by smoking tobacco. In this context, the predominant presence of nicotine during the smoking process is essential results in a particular risk and damage to the health of the smoker.

The majority of the attempts mentioned has led to the development of the known cigarette filters, which in the find widespread use in the tobacco processing industry around the world. It is on the other hand however also known that the use of such filters does not eliminate the hazards associated with smoking, but rather that these are still given.

Special cigarette holders have also been proposed, preferably used by cigarette smokers are used in which chemical substances are used that are suitable Eliminate nicotine or other harmful compounds and additions to tobacco.

In contrast to this prior art, the

device according to the invention find an independent application, without the smoker in cigarettes, Absorbs harmful substances contained in cigars, etc. As a result of thorough research over a long period of time Trial periods has been used in connection with the invention Apparatus show that this is extremely advantageous for the smoker, as means the device can eliminate harmful substances with great effectiveness. The with the invention The results achieved by the device are much better than those of conventional filters or the like, whereby in particular an improved elimination of the harmful substances and thus a reduction in the Risk of an accumulation of harmful substances inside

half of tobacco and in this context preferably of nicotine is avoided · In certain cases j and under certain conditions is the elimination

! nicotine from tobacco smoke even completely

j lungη.

The device according to the invention consists in particular

from a hollow container, from which, as a result of the actual process of smoking, the resulting Smoke from cigarettes, from cigars and the like

209823/0566

2H1133

more is absorbed and in which the pollutants by dissolving or dispersing the nicotine and other appropriate substances are removed. The uncleaned tobacco smoke occurs during the suction process of the smoker before he can reach it and penetrate his organism the said container through to be cleaned here in a much higher amount than this is possible with the known filters, cigarette holders or cigarette holders or with pipes. The residue of the smoke is precipitated or precipitated at the bottom of the device and never reaches as a result mais the smoker's mouth ο

The inventive device of the aforementioned j

i Art is relatively small, and only a little | larger than a pack of cigarettes, and extremely light and practical to use. The device can easily be put in a case

or in a housing which is used by the smoker |

is accessible and easy to use at any time.

Further features and advantages of the invention will be

en following using the accompanying drawing / described,

209823/0 56

the example embodiments of the invention Represent device, and it means:

Fig. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the invention in side view,

FIG. 2 shows a representation according to FIG. 1 for a further advantageous embodiment.

As can be seen from the illustrations, the device consists of a glass vial 1, which is preferably is approximately pear-shaped. A tube 2 inserted vertically into the glass vial runs through the upper opening of the bottle and is immersed within the same in a quantity of water 3, the fills about half the capacity of the bottle Above the mouthpiece of the bottle 1, the tube 2 is slightly angled and has on its End of a suitable base holder, for example in the form of an annular flange or the like, in which the cigarette 4 is held. Another tube 5, also made of glass, is of shorter length likewise introduced into the vial 1 via the mouthpiece of the vial 1, but without it being inserted into the inside

209823/0566

2H1133

of the bottle or container contained water would immerse. This tube serves as a pulling mouthpiece, through which the smoker is in the container contained air and subsequently the negative pressure occurring in the container by pulling on this tube absorbs tobacco smoke entering the vial. Through the smoking process, the entire fills

™ clear above the water surface with smoke. the end the illustration shows that the smoke before it enters the said free space within the Vial can enter, inevitably through the water must pass, causing most of the harmful Fractions are filtered off or dissolved, with a continuous suction of the smoke at the same time can take place at the suction tube and a high degree of filtration of the cigarette smoke is ensured «.

The process of smoking can of course be continued in the above-mentioned manner until the cigarette has been smoked, i.e. until the tobacco is completely burned »at the lower end of the in the water immersed pipe two or more ribbed guide surfaces are provided on which the ascending Air bubbles must pass by while smoking, creating additional nicotine and others

harmful substances are retained, which accumulate on the finned baffles if they
cannot otherwise be dissolved or converted into the gaseous state.

In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, instead of introducing water into the vial, it can be used under so-called "vacuum conditions", ie without water, where on
At the end of this, make a small hole of 1 to 3 mm.

j see through which the heavy or dense smoke

! can leak after the smoker accordingly in

blows the same tube through which he sucks the tobacco smoke.

The two main phases of handling the device according to the invention (ie a first and a second
j phase) as well as the general form of training of the

The main and secondary parts of the device are particularly evident from the accompanying drawings, to which reference is hereby expressly made. Yet
the actual inventive concept is in no way limited by the illustrated embodiments. In particular, it is possible to use the device

209823/0566

made of any suitable material, both for the main and the accessory parts applies and where, for example, glass, plastic material or the like can be used. The materials can be selected independently or in a corresponding combination, whereby the shape, Size and further details can be selected at will. With appropriate training and arrangement can use the device shown in the drawings and described above in particular for Smoking cigarettes, cigars or "Chibouk", i.e. special ones with a long stick tube Tobacco pipes are adapted.

Finally, it should also be mentioned that with the present device further favorable results and benefits can be obtained that benefit the smokers and users of this device and protect their health. It should be noted that the one who reaches the smoker Tobacco smoke is sufficiently precooled that it is not incorporated into overheated, like that is otherwise the case with cigarettes, cigars and the like, so that the periodic cardiac functions

209823/0566

are not affected and there are no irregularities in the smoker's heartbeat _c

Finally, mention should be made of that in that Vial 1 present water suitable chemical substances can be added, whereby a still more effective removal of pollutants in the tobacco smoke by dispersing or dissolving the nicotine

j and other harmful substances can be achieved.

The addition of these chemicals has to be appropriate

! Percentage and proportion to be done.
