Abstract

A device which is open on both ends, whereby on one end lies the cigarette holder (Receptacle) ( 54 ), which is a high temperature section. The opposite end the exhaust ( 34 ) is a low temperature section. Cigarette smoke must pass through the device via a series of concentric rings shutters ( 40 ), ( 42 ), ( 44 ), ( 46 ) and ( 48 ) which are radially mounted on a spirally grooved axle ( 52 ), lying centrally and longitudinally inside a fractionating chamber housing ( 38 ) before the cigarette smoker inhales the smoke. The concentric rings shutters and the spirally grooved axle act synergistically in removing the volatile chemicals contained in the cigarette smoke commonly referred to as tar.
