Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION This invention uses nicotine tar and thermal decomposition byproducts when igniting and smoking cigarettes. Carcinogens are a cause of lung cancer, and with the aim of eliminating them as much as possible,
This is what we are trying to develop. That is, when igniting and smoking this cigarette, a gelled product of the nicotine tar agent is applied thinly to the filter surface or suction port surface of the cigarette, or inside the insertion pipe, and is absorbed. A nicotine tar treatment method using a gel-like nicotine tar agent that adsorbs and removes harmful nicotine tar and thermal decomposition byproducts and suppresses carcinogenicity.

Generally known methods for removing nicotine tar include a suction method using a water pipe, an adsorption removal method using carbide or zeolite, and a removal method by cooling coagulation by cooling through a thin metal tube.

However, this removal method using a water pipe produces an unpleasant slurping sound when the cigarette is lit and smoked.
In addition, when inhaling, there is a drawback that water is often sucked in, and when activated carbon or zeolite adsorbents are used, the nicotine is removed to an extreme degree, which impairs the flavor, and if not a little, it can be completely harmful. Removal of the substance becomes difficult and inconvenient. Furthermore, in the smoking method using a pipe incorporating a metal capillary tube, it is difficult to completely remove nicotine tar by a physical treatment method such as complete condensation removal through cooling.

Therefore, the present invention fixes the water in the water pipe with a hydrous carbon material, a hydrous synthetic resin, or the same protein, thereby eliminating the slurping sound during suction and suppressing the suction of water into the throat. On the other hand, deodorant adsorbents reduce harmful substances,
A nicotine-free product that uses oxidizing agents and reducing salts to render harmful substances caused by thermal decomposition harmless, adds pleasant sensations with aromatics, reduces carcinogenicity, and improves purification by reducing the amount of smoke emitted. The content is related to tar processing methods.

The manner of carrying out the invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, water, hydrated carbon, water-soluble synthetic resin, and the same protein powder are put into a heated tank 1 using a heating element 3, and the heated and dissolved aqueous liquid contains deodorizers, adsorbents, surfactants, etc. aromatic,
Add salts, oxidizing agents, reducing agents, and organic solvents, stir and disperse, and when the heating temperature reaches 80 ° C., pour the heated liquid into the syringe tank 4, and pour it into the container 6 from the injection pipe 5. ,
Cool and solidify to form a gel.

Apply this to the suction port surface (8) of filter A' of cigarette A.
It is applied to the upper surface of the gelled material 9 to form a thin film.

Then, in advance, insert a fibrous material coated with this gelled material 9 into the unwide mouth of the pipe 9' to be inserted into this cigarette filter, and insert the cigarette filter. The action deodorizes and adsorbs and renders harmless, promoting clean smoking, further improving carcinogenicity, eliminating the unpleasant feeling of tar odor caused by smoking by people in the vicinity, and reducing smoke in confined spaces such as cars. It has the effect of removing bad odors from the vehicle interior and preventing them from occurring.

For convenience, this gelled nicotine tar agent is prepared by inserting a fiber coated with a gelled substance in advance on the unexpanded surface of the pipe 9' and fitting the cap 10 to prevent the unexpanded surface.
This method also includes a pipe 9' in which the gel is pasted onto the suction port and sealed to prevent the gel from drying out.

An example of the formulation of this removed nicotine tar and harmful substance remover by thermal decomposition is as follows.

Example (1) Hydrous carbon, synthetic resin, protein 5g water
100g glycol or glycerin 1g surfactant
0-0.1g oxidizing agent or reducing agent 0.
1g salts 1g dye microcapsules 0-0.01g fragrance
0.1g organic solvent
1g The above glycol or glycerin prevents drying and helps remove tar. Microcapsules are made from enzymatic decomposition products of starch, sodium alginate, etc., and work to stabilize and adsorb fragrances, while organic solvents are removed. It is effective as a nicotine adsorbent, and the oxidizing agent and reducing agent are useful for rendering the thermal decomposition products harmless.

Figure 6 shows the removal characteristics of nicotine tar by this gelled product, where a is a regular cigarette, b is a water pipe, c is a pipe containing activated carbon granules, and d is a pipe incorporating a metal capillary. and e are those of the present invention.

As shown by these results, when cigarette filters are coated with a gel film, the residual nicotine tar component during smoking is reduced to 8%, and when the cigarette filter is cooled through a metal capillary tube through physical treatment, the residual nicotine tar component is reduced to 8%. was 48%.

The coating thickness of this gelled product is 0.001 mm to fully exhibit its function, but it is generally best to apply it to a thickness of 0.001 to 0.1 mm before smoking.

A pipe inserted into a cigarette filter is more effective in reducing the amount of smoke caused by smoking in the surrounding area, and even if a large amount is applied, it does not come into direct contact with the mouth, making it more hygienic. .

In addition, when this gelled product is press-fitted into the interface between the filter and the tobacco using a tube, it suppresses ignition of the filter and combustion of the filter, thereby improving the cause of fire.

Furthermore, when a filter is impregnated with this gel and smoked, it improves the condensation power of tar and exerts more than twice the power of a metal capillary.

As described above, the feature of this invention is that a deodorizing agent, an adsorbent, an aromatic agent, an oxidizing agent, a reducing agent, salts, and an organic solvent are added to and mixed with a water-soluble hydrous carbide, a water-soluble synthetic resin, or a hydrous gel of protein. Smoking gas is passed through a gel that has been pre-applied to the inhalation surface of a cigarette, and during that time, this gel quickly renders it harmless and reduces the discomfort caused by smoke damage to people in the vicinity. It has the effect of preventing unpleasant noises and suction like water pipes, simplifies the processing time like activated carbon, reduces waste, and removes harmful substances by using wet substances. It is effective in removing tar and further increasing the condensation of tar, improving adsorption with microcapsules, stabilizing aromatics, and reducing the carcinogenicity of by-products caused by thermal decomposition with reducing agents, oxidizing agents, and salts. Since it has been removed and improved, it is useful for cleaning smoking in small rooms, has fire extinguishing properties, and is an industrially useful invention.
