Contamination of Eclipse filters with glass fibers and glass dust poses a potential and unnecessary health hazard to uninformed consumers. Eclipse is a paradigm of the health danger that may be imposed by technically complex tobacco articles and nicotine delivery devices promoted by an unregulated industry to smokers worldwide, many of whom are addicted to nicotine and who seek a less hazardous cigarette.
Abstract We report here the results of studies documenting the contamination of a cigarette-appearing smoking article labeled Eclipse with glass fibers, fragments, and particles. Publication types Research Support, U. Tar Tar is a mixture of the compounds in cigarette smoke which condensate turn from a gas to a solid once in the lungs to form a sticky brown substance, this is the cigarette smoke condensate. Cigarette additives Cigarette additives are used to: prolong shelf life; control the rate of burning; help in cigarette manufacture; control how much nicotine is delivered; add flavour; and reduce the harshness and irritation of cigarettes.
Processing aids Ammonia compounds, carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol are used to make the cured tobacco less brittle and therefore make it easier to manufacture. Combustion aids Ammonium, sodium phosphate and sodium and potassium citrate are used to treat the cigarette paper which works to control the rate at which the cigarette papers burns.
Humectants Humectants include sugars, glycerine and glycol compounds. Nicotine controllers Additives are used to aid the delivery of target doses of nicotine. Flavours Liquorice, cocoa, honey, fruit spices or fruit extracts can be used to improve the taste of cigarettes making them more palatable and appealing, especially for first-time smokers.
Flavoured cigarettes There are some cigarettes which are designed to be dominated by a flavour.
