Definitions
- This invention relates to improvements in tobacco prodnets, and it relates particularly to novel smoking tobacco products such as cigarettes, cigars, pipe tobacco and the like, having improved physiological properties.
- tobacco srn ke inhibits the activity of the ciliated, mucus-secreting epithelial tissues of the respiratory tract. Cilia of these tissues have the function of dislodging and discharging solid particles, such as dust particles, from the respiratory tract.
- the smoke particles including tobacco tar particles pass by the less active or quiescent oils and collect and accumulate in the lungs and other parts of the respiratory tract.
- Citric acid in the form or" a dilute aqueous or alcoholic solution, can be added readily to natural leaf tobacco by praying the solution on the tobacco or immersing the to *acco in the solution of the acid. If desired, citric acid can be added to or included in other tobacco additives,
- a cigarette tobacco of a suitable blend is sprayed with an aqueous solution containing about 10% citric acid to add to the tobacco about 1% by Weight of citric acid.
- the total amount of citric acid can be varied but it appears that l is the optimum as well as about the minimum amount. While citric acid be added in very much greater amounts, for example, as much as 5% to 10% by Weight, the efl'ect on ciliary activity is not noticeably improved and the flavor of the tobacco smoke may be adversely ailected.
- citric acid cannot be explained as one of removal of or reaction with the inhibiting components of the tobacco for none of them appears to be removed or for that mater, appears to react with the citric acid. So far as can be determined, all of the components of the tobacco smoke remain together with the products that are formed from added citric acid which appear to serve as cilia stimulants of greater activity than the inhibiting agent or agents in the tobacco smoke and offset totally or in peat their inhibiting activity.
- a smoking tobacco product consisting essentially of natural leaf tobacco, the improvement which comprises about 1% of added citric acid by Weight of the leaf tobacco being dispersed throughout said leaf tobacco.
- a smoking tobacco product consisting essentially of natural leaf smoking tobacco, the improvement which comprises at least about 1% of citric acid by Weight of said leaf smoking tobacco intermixed with said leaf tobacco as a stimulant for ciliary activity to neutralize at least partially inhibiting action of tobacco smoke on ciliary activity.
- a cigarette consisting essentially of natural leaf smoking tobacco encased in a wrapper, the improvement which comprises at least about 1% of citric acid by Weight s tobacco in said ci arette intermixed with said tobacco as a stimulant for cil-iary activity to neutralize at least partially the inhibiting action of tobacco smoke on ciliary activity.
