Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention focuses various synthetic fibers into a cigarette butt filter or a smoking pipe filter, and uses substances such as vitamin C, lactose, and enzymes together with silica gel or herbal extracts in the fibers. Regarding the filter, the purpose is to provide a filter that can remove harmful components in cigarette smoke that have an unfavorable effect on the human body, improve the flavor when smoking, and improve the safety of cigarette smoking. It is in.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, various types of filters and various mouthpieces (pipes) using adsorption compositions in the filters have been proposed and commercially available for removing nicotine, tar, etc. from cigarette smoke. In the present invention, vitamin C, lactose, and enzymes are added to the composition, the vitamins protect your health, the lactose prevents vitamin oxidation, and the undesirable components of cigarette smoking are supplemented with silica gel, herbal extract, and herbal extract paste. In addition, enzymes are used to remove undesirable odors from smoke.

Next, the harmful components of cigarettes are generally considered to be nicotine and tar, of which tar is said to be produced by the incomplete combustion of the cigarette paper. Among the many types of enzymes, the enzyme of the present invention is composed of a water-soluble molecular structure stereoregularly coordinated by thermophilic filamentous teeth, and removes the odor caused by nicotine, tar, etc. in the cigarette smoke. At the same time, it also removes the color taste in the smoke. Also, since vitamin C is easily oxidized, lactose is added to prevent oxidation and to adsorb 3,4 benzpyrene, a harmful substance in cigarette smoke.

Next, we attached the filter of the present application and a regular filter to smoking pipes (the pipes shown in Figure 2) and conducted comparative experiments on tar and nicotine.The results are as follows: Experimenter: Analysis by Osaka Soda Co., Ltd. Center Registration Number Hyogo Prefecture Financial Instruments No. 9 Cigarettes used in the experiment: Product name of American cigarettes;
Method for the Marlboro and Whiston two-type experiment: As shown in the attached explanatory diagram, put 1 liter each of methanol and toluene into two washing bottles and seal them with stopper lids. A smoking pipe attachment pipe was attached to one side, and a suction pipe was attached to the other side, and the following filters A and B were housed in the smoking pipe attachment tube.

B. The filter of the present application, that is, a synthetic fiber polypropylene is formed into a cylindrical shape to match the inner diameter of the storage area of the smoking pipe, and a filter in which silica gel, vitamin C, lactose, and oxygen are adsorbed in varying amounts is housed in the cylindrical shape. A smoking pipe, and (b) A smoking pipe made of polypropylene, a synthetic fiber, formed into a cylindrical shape to match the inner diameter of the storage area for the smoking pipe.The above two types were used to investigate evaporation residues (tar, nicotine). Ta.

For the first time, smoke like a regular cigarette, inhale for 3 to 4 seconds, stop for 25 to 28 seconds, 10 each of Marlboro and Winston cigarettes.
About the book Use the smoking pipe with A and B,
As a result of the experiment, the following results are obtained. The amount of suction is 25u each time.

・About 10 Marlboros, In the case of a smoking pipe... 235mg 〃 ...290mg 18.965% decrease in case of smoking pipe.

・ Regarding the 10 Winstons, In the case of a smoking pipe......285mg Lo's 〃 ...377mg 24.4% reduction in the use of smoking pipes.

Next, in the second experiment, inhalation time was 2 seconds to 3 seconds, stop time was 4 seconds to 5 seconds, and 10 cigarettes (product names = Marlboro and Winston) were used, as in the first experiment, using the above-mentioned smoking pipes A and B. As a result, the following results were obtained.

・About 10 Marlboros, In the case of a smoking pipe ……392mg 〃 ...511mg 23.28% decrease for smoking pipes.

・ Regarding 10 Winstons, In the case of a smoking pipe ……370mg Lo 〃 ...438mg 15.52% decrease for smoking pipes.

Next, to explain the drawings, Fig. 1 shows a filter, and as shown in Fig. 2, this filter A is housed in the main body 1 of the smoking pipe B. Large tobacco diameter
It is formed into two upper and lower stages with different large and small diameters so that it can be adapted to small diameters. This filter A is formed by converging various synthetic fibers such as acetyl cellulose, rayon, polypropylene, etc. into a cylindrical shape, and adsorbs silica gel, vitamin C, lactose, enzymes, etc. The constituent substances may be mixed together, or they may be provided separately in layers in the filter, or a film may be formed around the outer periphery with paint or synthetic resin liquid to protect the adsorbed composition from the outside air. The filter A thus formed is housed in the main body 1 of the smoking pipe B as shown in FIG.

Although the smoking pipe B is not limited to the structure shown in the drawing, the smoking pipe main body 1 having the structure shown in the drawing is made of transparent synthetic resin so that the filter A inside can be seen through, and the cigarette insertion opening 2 is as described above. The inner diameter is formed into two upper and lower stages of large diameter and small diameter so that cigarettes of different diameters can be used, a partition wall 4 is provided inside the mouthpiece opening 3, and a small hole 5 is made in the center of the partition wall 4. .

As mentioned above, this filter uses substances such as vitamin C, lactose, and enzymes in addition to silica gel between the fibers formed by bundling various synthetic fibers, so that it absorbs substances that are undesirable to the human body in cigarette smoke. In addition, it has the advantage of removing odors, improving palatability that is favorable for health, and preventing others from being bothered by smoke due to its aroma.
