Abstract

Use in the tobacco rod of a smoking article of tobacco mixed with a reconstituted tobacco sheet which includes activated carbon particles, surrounded by a paper of CORESTA 20 permeability or greater results in an article having reduced sidestream smoke and selective reduction of certain ingredients in mainstream smoke, whereby the smoker has a perception of increased smoothness.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . (new) a method of producing a smoking article with reduced sidestream smoke and increased perceived mildness during smoking comprising: 
 using for the tobacco rod of the article shredded tobacco and shredded reconstituted tobacco sheet containing activated carbon particles; and    using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater.    
     
     
         2 . (New) A method according to  claim 1  wherein the activated carbon particles are of vegetable origin.  
     
     
         3 . (New) A method according to  claim 2  wherein the vegetable origin is coconut.  
     
     
         4 . (New) A method according to  claim 3  wherein there is a preferential reduction in the aldehyde content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         5 . (New) A method according to  claim 1  wherein there is a preferential reduction in the aldehyde content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         6 . (New) A method according to  claim 5  wherein the acrolein and butyraldehydes content of mainstream smoke is reduced.  
     
     
         7 . (New) A method according to  claim 1  wherein the acrolein and butyraldehydes content of mainstream smoke is reduced.  
     
     
         8 . (New) A method according to  claim 7  wherein there is a reduction in the ketone content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         9 . (New) A method according to  claim 1  wherein there is a reduction in the ketone content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         10 . (New) A method according to  claim 9  wherein the step of using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater consists of using a material having a permeability selected from the group consisting of 25 CORESTA, 50 CORESTA, 80 CORESTA and 180 CORESTA.  
     
     
         11 . (New) A method according to  claim 1  wherein the step of using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater consists of using a material having a permeability selected from the group consisting of 25 CORESTA, 50 CORESTA, 80 CORESTA and 180 CORESTA.  
     
     
         12 . (New) A method of producing a smoking article with reduced sidestream smoke and increased perceived mildness during smoking comprising: 
 using for the tobacco rod of the article shredded tobacco and shredded reconstituted tobacco sheet containing activated carbon particles;    using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater; and    hand-rolling the smoking article.    
     
     
         13 . (New) A method according to  claim 12  wherein the activated carbon particles are of vegetable origin.  
     
     
         14 . (New) A method according to  claim 13  wherein the vegetable origin is coconut.  
     
     
         15 . (New) A method according to  claim 14  wherein there is a preferential reduction in the aldehyde content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         16 . (New) A method according to  claim 12  wherein there is a preferential reduction in the aldehyde content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         17 . (New) A method according to  claim 16  wherein the acrolein and butyraldehydes content of mainstream smoke is reduced.  
     
     
         18 . (New) A method according to  claim 12  wherein the acrolein and butyraldehydes content of mainstream smoke is reduced.  
     
     
         19 . (New) A method according to  claim 18  wherein there is a reduction in the ketone content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         20 . (New) A method according to  claim 12  wherein there is a reduction in the ketone content of mainstream smoke when said article is smoked.  
     
     
         21 . (New) A method according to  claim 20  wherein the step of using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater consists of using a material having a permeability selected from the group consisting of 25 CORESTA, 50 CORESTA, 80 CORESTA and 180 CORESTA.  
     
     
         22 . (New) A method according to  claim 12  wherein the step of using as the wrapper of the smoking article a material having a permeability of 20 CORESTA or greater consists of using a material having a permeability selected from the group consisting of 25 CORESTA, 50 CORESTA, 80 CORESTA and 180 CORESTA.
