Definitions
- the invention relates to a filter cigarette.
- the smoke of cigarettes is composed of a particle and a gas phase.
- the smoke is filtered with the aid of cellulose acetate.
- the gas phase is often not lowered to a satisfactory extent, so often other design features are adjusted. For example, it is common to provide cigarettes with a relatively high ventilation, which causes the gas phase to be additionally diluted with air.
- Another possibility of additional gas phase reduction is the use of gas phase-active, that is reducing the gas phase, substances in the filter.
- cigarettes are usually smoked to the ISO standard. If alternative smoking conditions are selected, as is the case for example. B. under intense smoking conditions (see definitions below) in Canada, gas phase values are significantly higher.
- Filter cigarettes are known from the prior art, which influence the tobacco smoke with the aid of gas-phase-active substances in such a way that the amount of gas phase in the mainstream smoke inhaled by the smoker is reduced.
- filter cigarettes are on the market whose gas phase values are reduced by the addition of gas phase active substances, such as activated carbon.
- gas phase active substances such as activated carbon.
- Activated carbon filters in which the activated carbon is introduced into a chamber, are used for a long time and especially in Japan and are known from WO 02/37990 A2 or from other documents such. B. DE 42 056 58 A1 or WO 00/49901 A1.
- the filter consists of a filter segment with activated charcoal and a filter segment with ion exchange resins and optionally a mouth-side filter segment made of cellulose acetate. Comparable cigarettes are described in WO 03/015544 A1 and WO 2004/103099 A2.
- the gas phase reduction is also influenced by the combination of the design parameters of a filter cigarette, which includes not only the filter additives, but also the nature of the tobacco, the wrapping material and the filter components.
- the gas phase is not lowered to a satisfactory extent in the cigarettes described.
- the values for the total gas phase content G ges are more than 1200 ⁇ g / cigarette, measured according to ISO.
- a further disadvantage is that conventional gas phase active cigarette filters lose their effectiveness after a certain storage time.
- the cigarettes according to the prior art are often added further substances either in the tobacco mixture or in the filter, such as palladium to tobacco as in WO 02/37990 Al.
- the disadvantage here is the high costs and difficult manufacturing conditions. Also disadvantageous are complex and expensive Multifilterkonstruk- tions with a variety of different adsorbents or expensive special materials.
- the object of the invention is to provide a filter cigarette with a significant gas phase reduction of the tobacco smoke. This gas phase reduction should also be given under so-called Intense-Abrauch discipline (see below).

- the naturally porous cigarette paper can additionally be electroperfused, mechanically perforated or laser perforated.
- the cigarette paper preferably contains a relatively high mullet salt content to lower the CO content in the smoke.
- Usual Glimmsalzmengen are at 0, 7%. Glimmsalzmengen of 1, 3% or more, preferably 2% are used according to the invention. Preferably, sodium / potassium citrates are used.
- the basis weight of the cigarette paper is preferably lower than conventional comparable cigarettes and is at 22 g / m z .
- the filter may for example consist of one, two, three, four or five filter sections and preferably has two filter sections. If the filter has more than one filter section, a filter section is preferably arranged on the mouth side, which does not contain any substances which reduce the gas phase. Different gas phase reducing substances can be introduced in one or in different filter parts. In the case of several filter parts, these can be arranged longitudinally one behind the other or else arranged coaxially.

- the filter material consists for example of fibers, tow, paper, fabric web, non-woven, nonwoven, extrudate, foam.
- the filter material is preferably crimped before being formed into the filter mold, treated and / or with other filter additives, such as.

- Activated carbon, alumina, aluminum hydroxide, ion exchangers (preferably ion exchange resins), molecular sieves, silica gel, natural or synthetic minerals such as magnesium silicate, alumina, zeolites, bentonites, kieselguhr or meerschaum can be used as gas phase reducing substances.
- the gas phase reducing substances which are introduced into the filter preferably have a high surface area in the range of more than 1000 m 2 / g, preferably 1000-1200 m 2 / g measured by BET method and / or a recording of CCI 4 of 60%. 70% based on the weight of the gas phase reducing substance.
- the filter wrapping paper envelops the filter parts. It can be porous or nonporous.
- the tipping paper or wrapping paper connects the filter to the tobacco rod. It can be either naturally porous, mechanically or electroperforated or laser perforated.
- the filter is preferably laser-perforated online, that is, during the production of cigarettes after the filter has been applied to the tobacco rod.
- the filter ventilation is between 0% and 30% and is preferably between 10% and 25%. In other embodiments, the filter ventilation is in the range of 30% to 70%, preferably in the range of 30% to 60%.
