摘要:
A smoking article comprises a tobacco rod and a filter component. The filter component comprises a first filter segment of filtration material having a diameter measured perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the filter, and a flow restrictor embedded in the filter segment. At least one cross sectional dimension of the flow restrictor, measured in a transverse direction of the filter segment, is at least about 50 percent of the diameter of the filter segment. The flow restrictor is made from an air-impermeable, non-compressible and water-soluble or water-dissolvable material. Further, the flow restrictor comprises a composition that promotes degradation of the filtration material.
摘要:
Filters for smoking articles include a polymeric filter material and oxo-additives. The filter can include (i) polymeric fibers formed from a composition containing polymeric material and an oxo-additive; (ii) polymeric filter material that has been contacted with a liquid composition that includes an oxo-additive and a binder; and/or (iii) oxo-additive added to an adhesive that is in contact with polymeric filter material.
