Definitions

• the present invention relates to tobacco smoke filters (e.g. for cigarettes) and their production.
• cellulose acetate is the dominant material used in tobacco smoke filters. It is also known to use paper as a filtration material in filters, e.g. for cigarettes; paper offers a number of advantages over cellulose acetate in terms of enhanced biodegradability, higher filtration efficiencies at a given pressure drop and lower material cost. Despite these advantages, the use of paper filters is small and generally limited to niche applications. The main reason why paper filters have failed to attract widespread market interest is that they have a deleterious effect on the taste of the cigarette. This so-called 'paper taste' is often considered to impart a harsher, drier sensation to cigarette smoke.
• the Korean patent application KR 2009 0041668 discloses a cigarette filter made of paper and flavoured with natural botanical extracts It would thus be highly desirable to overcome this 'paper taste' and create a smoking sensation from paper-filtered cigarettes that is comparable to that of conventional cellulose acetate filtered cigarettes. In addition, discarded paper butts would degrade much quicker than those of cellulose acetate, resulting in significant environmental improvements. However, any measure to overcome the paper taste must also result in a smoking experience which is comparable to that from a conventional cellulose acetate filtered cigarette. This has not been achieved by previous attempts to overcome 'paper taste' deficiencies (e.g. by adding specific flavouring such as menthol).
• a further limitation with paper filters is their reduced retention of toxic phenolic compounds - for example phenol, cresols, catechol and resorcinol - found in volatile and semi-volatile phases of cigarette smoke, compared to cellulose acetate filters; this results in higher relative yields of phenolic compounds from cigarettes with paper filters. This is caused by the well-known selectivity of cellulose acetate filters towards phenolic compounds rather than any inherent deficiency with paper filters. However, it of course still desirable to enhance phenol retention of paper filters so a smoker would not be exposed to higher levels of phenolic compounds when smoking a paper filtered cigarette compared to a cellulose acetate filtered cigarette.
• a filter for a cigarette which has the advantages of a paper filter (biodegradability etc.) without the deleterious paper taste effect and/or with phenolic retention at least similar to that of a cellulose acetate filter.

• essential oil of seed of celery may provide improved taste when used in (or with) smoking articles that heat, rather than burn, tobacco.
• smoking articles that heat rather than burn tobacco are known. Although such smoking articles generally feature a cellulose acetate filter, they tend to provide a poorer taste in comparison to conventional cigarettes with cellulose acetate filters. The applicants have surprisingly found that inclusion of essential oil of seed of celery in the filters used in smoking articles that heat rather than burn tobacco results in improved sensory characteristics for these smoking articles.
• a smoking article which heats tobacco excludes smoking articles such as cigarettes and cigars, the use of which involves burning of the tobacco.
• Sample paper filters were made from a cylindrical rod (of length 15 mm and circumference 24.50 mm) of paper formed from a non-aperture porous web of 100% wood pulp fibre according to the method set out in GB2075328A .
• the paper is formed on an inclined wire machine from fibres 2.5 to 6mm in length and has a finished substance (before corrugation) of 15 to 35 grammes per square metre (by the method set out in GB2075328A ).

• the resulting continuously produced rod is continuously cut transversely into finite lengths to give the product filter or filter rod, by methods which are also known in the art.
• Sample cigarettes were assembled using the sample filters made as set out above.
• the yield of phenol, o-, m- and p-cresol (collectively termed the mono-hydroxyphenols) were then measured for all samples under ISO smoking conditions.
• the tar yields from the sample cigarettes were also measured in order that the ratios of phenols to tar could be assessed.
• the yields were compared with a control cigarette (of equal dimensions but containing a conventional cellulose acetate filter), also smoked under ISO smoking conditions.
• sample filters according to the invention which include a paper filter selectively reduce phenols; the exposure of the phenol compounds mentioned above was found to be comparable with a cellulose acetate filter cigarette.
• the filters were removed from a first group of the cigarettes and replaced with machine-made paper filters of equivalent tar retention. These filters are referred to as unmodified paper-filtered cigarettes ('P'), below.
• the filters were also removed from a second group of the cigarettes and replaced with machine-made paper filters of equivalent tar retention (as with the P group). A metered quantity of essential celery seed oil was injected into each paper filter and the cigarettes allowed to age for around 3-4 weeks. These filters are referred to as modified paper-filtered cigarettes ('P+'), below.
• the panel compared unmodified paper-filtered cigarettes ('P') with the monoacetate control ('C'); and the modified paper filters ('P+') versus 'C'.
