摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the nicotine content of a tobacco plant to less than addictive levels. The method includes the step of administering to the tobacco plant an effective amount of a nicotine reducing agent sufficient to reduce the level of nicotine in the tobacco plant so that the resulting nicotine content in the plant is reduced to a level wherein a tobacco product produced from the plant will yield a non-addictive level of nicotine in the central nervous system blood plasma of the user. The present invention is further directed to tobacco plants prepared by the method.
摘要:
The invention relates to a tobacco smoking article wrapper which selectively reduces the content of gaseous components in the smoke delivered during the use of the smoking article. The gaseous components can be low molecular weight aldehydes in the smoke produced during combustion/pyrolysis of the smoking article. The wrapper can comprise cigarette paper having an ammonium-containing compound filler therein for reducing the aldehyde content in the smoke. The ammonium-containing compound filler evolves ammonia upon combustion/pyrolysis of the smoking article which can chemically react with aldehydes in tobacco smoke and/or modify the combustion/pyrolysis reactions thereby reducing the initial formation of aldehydes to selectively reduce such aldehydes from the smoke inhaled by a smoker. The ammonium-containing compound can be magnesium ammonium phosphate used alone or in combination with one or more other fillers such as calcium carbonate.

L'invention concerne un dispositif de fauchage de végétaux comportant des tiges aériennes, attelable sur un engin automoteur. Le dispositif comprend, un premier châssis (2) comportant des moyens de guidage (6, 4) convergeant vers des premiers moyens de coupe (10) pour ménager une encoche dans lesdites tiges (8) et des deuxièmes moyens de coupe (18) pour sectionner lesdites tiges (8) au-dessous de ladite encoche, lesdits moyens de coupe (10, 18) et lesdits moyens de guidage (6, 4) étant fixés sur ledit premier châssis (2) dans des positions relatives déterminées. Le dispositif comprend également un deuxième châssis apte à être fixé sur une partie dudit engin automoteur, et des moyens de liaison pour relier les deux châssis de sorte que ledit premier châssis (2) peut être écarté d'une position d'équilibre selon une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire à la direction d'avancement dudit engin automoteur, ledit premier châssis (2) étant guidé par lesdites tiges (8) sur lesquelles lesdits moyens de guidage (6, 4) prennent appui, par quoi la position relative desdits premiers moyens de coupe (10) et desdites tiges est constante.
