Embodiment Construction

[0016] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2 , the preferred embodiment of the present invention provides a smoking system 21 which preferably includes a partially filled filter cigarette 23 and a reusable lighter 25 . The cigarette 23 is adapted to be inserted into or removed from a cigarette receptacle 27 provided on the front end 29 of the lighter 25 . Once the cigarette 23 is inserted, the smoking system 21 is used in the same manner as a normal cigarette, but without lighting or smoldering the cigarette 23 . After one or more puffs, the cigarette 23 is discarded.

[0017] Preferably, the cigarette 23 provides 8 puffs (puff cycles) or more per cigarette, however this is a matter of design and the total number of puffs can be adjusted for fewer or more puffs suction. In a preferred embodiment, adjacent to the free end 15 of the cigarette 23, the cigarette 23 includes at least one circumferential perforated ring 12, and preferably also a second perforated ring or rings 14, beneath th...

Abstract

An electric smoking system includes a cigarette including a cylindrical tobacco web partially filled with tobacco material to define a filled tobacco rod portion and an unfilled tobacco rod portion, and an electric lighter. The wrapper includes a filler of ammonium-containing compounds effective to reduce the gaseous constituents of the smoke produced during smoking. The system includes a pilot burner including at least one heating vane and a controller adapted to control heating of the heating vane. The lighter is configured to at least partially contain the cigarette such that the heater blade heats the heating region of the cigarette. Manipulating the controller to limit the heating of the heater blades to a predetermined temperature range which allows the delivery of the smoke generated when the portion of the tobacco rod is heated while at least reducing the amount of smoke present in the smoke as compared to smoking a cigarette having only calcium carbonate as filler. A gaseous component. The gaseous components that can be reduced include carbon monoxide, 1,3 butadiene, isoprene, acrolein, acrylonitrile, hydrogen cyanide, 0-toluidine, 2-naphthylamine, nitrogen oxide, benzene, NNN, Phenol, catechol, benzanthracene and benzopyrene.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electric smoking system and method of reducing gaseous constituents during smoking. Background technique [0002] Conventional cigarettes are consumed by lighting the wrapped tobacco rod end and drawing air primarily through the mouth end of the cigarette by drawing it through the lighting end. Conventional cigarettes deliver tobacco smoke as a result of combustion during a puff, during the combustion of large amounts of shredded tobacco at temperatures in excess of 800°C. The heat of combustion releases various gaseous combustion products and distillates from the cut tobacco. As these gaseous products are drawn through the cigarette, they cool and condense, forming smoke that contains the flavors and smells associated with smoking. Regular cigarettes produce sidestream smoke during the smoldering period between puffs. Once ignited, they must be completely burned or discarded. Relighting a conventional cigarette ...
