In addition, at least one extracted component of plant fiber is contained in the cocoon cocoon interposed between the filter body and the cigarette body.

The cigarette of the present invention is a cigarette comprising a cigarette body which is a burning portion and a smoking filter integrally attached to one end of the cigarette body. , Tea leaves, dokudami, hinokitiol, aloe, tomorrow leaves, persimmon leaves,
A plant fiber layer having at least one kind of dried and ground plant fiber selected from the group consisting of Moroheiya, armchair, loofah, ginkgo, mugwort, psyllium, eucalyptus, and clam, a cocoon layer, and synthetic resin fiber And a filter main body.

[0010]

In the cigarette having the above-mentioned structure, the plant fiber layer does not significantly affect the taste of the cigarette, and has a deodorizing effect on smokers and non-smokers. On the other hand, it directly has an antibacterial action against non-smokers.

[0011]

The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. First, FIGS. 1 and 2 show a cigarette 1 according to a first embodiment of the present invention. This cigarette 1 basically comprises a cigarette body 2 which is a burning portion, and a smoking filter 3 which is integrally attached to one end of the cigarette body 2.

The smoking filter 3 includes dried plant fibers (fiber layer) such as tea leaves, dokudami, hinokitiol, aloe, tomorrow leaves, persimmon leaves, morohaya, armchair, loofah, ginkgo, mugwort, psyllium, eucalyptus, and clover. )It is included. This dried plant fiber may be one kind or two or more kinds. In this embodiment, one kind of specific tea leaf is used, however, from the viewpoint of cost and deodorant effect, plant fiber in which tea leaf and dokudami are mixed is used.

Therefore, when the dried plant fiber is applied to the smoking filter 3, it is made into a pulverized state such as a powder, a pulverized state or a granular state, and the pulverized plant fiber 4 is used as a breathable material which is generally used. Filter body 5 and cigarette body 2
Intervene between. In this case, the crushed plant fiber 4 is a cigarette paper 6 such as rice paper constituting the cigarette 1.
It is wrapped in.

Next, FIG. 3 shows a cigarette 1A according to a second embodiment of the present invention. This cigarette 1A also comprises a cigarette body 2A, which is a burning portion, and a smoking filter 3A integrally attached to one end of the cigarette body 2A.

However, the cigarette 1A of the second embodiment differs from the cigarette 1 of the above embodiment in that the pulverized plant fiber material 4A is dispersed or evenly mixed in the smoking filter 3A. . In this case, the pulverized plant fiber 4A is made into a powdery state and mixed with a synthetic resin material such as acetate fiber or glass fiber. Even with this structure, the deodorizing effect can be sufficiently exerted.

Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show a cigarette 1B according to a third embodiment of the present invention (the same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals for convenience).

The cigarette 1B of the third embodiment differs from the cigarette 1 of the first embodiment in that the crushed plant fiber of the filter 3B is not a dried plant fiber but an extract of tea leaves, dokudami, hinokitiol and the like. The point is that the components are appropriately contained in the filter 3B.

Therefore, the filter 3B of this embodiment is used.
Is a cocoon cocoon 7 between the filter body 5B and the cigarette body 2B.
It is impregnated with one or more kinds. Here, the "scrap cocoon 7" refers to scrap generated from the yarn making process, scrap generated from the weaving process, and other scrap cocoons.

When the waste cocoon 7 is impregnated with the extracted component 4B of the plant fiber, it may be impregnated in a state of being heated and melted, or may be impregnated with a suitable solvent after adjusting the viscosity.

With the above construction, the cigarette body 2B can be made to have the same length as that of commercially available cigarettes, and at the same time, the deodorant effect and the antibacterial effect can be obtained.

Next, FIGS. 6 and 7 show a cigarette 1C according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention (the same parts as those in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals for convenience).

The cigarette 1C of the fourth embodiment differs from the cigarette 1 of the first embodiment in the filter 3C.

That is, the filter 3C further has a cotton cocoon or crushed waste cocoon layer 7C, and the cigarette body 2
A cocoon cocoon layer 7C, a plant fiber layer 4C, and a filter body 5C are successively provided in this order along the burning direction of C.

The vegetable fiber layer 4C of the cigarette 1C
The same as in the first embodiment, 1 or 2 kinds of dried plant fibers are used.
Although it contains more than one kind, as in the third embodiment, a suitable material such as scrap cocoon, synthetic resin fiber such as acetate fiber, paper, cotton-like pulp and the like may be impregnated with the above-mentioned extracted component of plant fiber.

Further, in the cigarette 1C of the fourth embodiment, a nicotine and tar absorbing substance layer such as already known activated carbon particles may be appropriately added to the filter 3C.

[0026] In the following, a room of 6 tatami mats will accommodate a total of 8 people,
The experiment was conducted by saying that there are 3 smokers and 5 non-smokers.
In the experiment, three smokers were given a mouth-free odor and a time limit of 10 minutes was given.
ARK, MILDS ”was smoked by 2 people per person.
In this case, the so-called cigarette odor was generated in the exhaled breath of each of the three smokers. On the other hand, five non-smokers responded, "It is as if they were in a coffee shop, etc.," and all complained of coughing and headaches as well as dislike.

Next, two cigarettes of the present invention 1 were smoked by one person under the same conditions. As a result, the three smokers
Although the taste of the cigarette itself became slightly lighter, there was no difference in taste. The so-called cigarette odor was not felt in the breath exhaled by the three smokers. On the other hand, 5 non-smokers had a feeling of disgust, but did not complain of headache and coughing.
