AI Technical Summary
Traditional cigarettes pose issues with filtering, cleanliness, safety, smoke control, and unpleasant odors due to direct contact and ash generation.
The environmentally friendly cigarette design features two aluminum cylinders with a perforated inner cylinder and an outer cylinder that allows air control, along with a medical plastic filter and an air cooler, which together manage smoke flow, cleanliness, and odor control.
This design effectively filters smoke, maintains cleanliness and safety by containing ash, allows controlled smoke release, and reduces unpleasant odors by minimizing direct hand contact with the cigarette.

Abstract
Description
[0001] This patent, called "Environmentally Friendly Cigarette," comprises two hollow cylinders made of aluminum with a thickness of at least one millimeter that fit one inside the other. The first cylinder is perforated, meaning it has a large number of holes in its wall. This cylinder is inserted into the outer cylinder, which has a rectangular slit at the bottom through which air can enter the cylinder. The slit can be opened and closed like a small window. There is a gap between the cylinders, and the perforated cylinder is inserted completely into the outer cylinder, except for the head of the perforated cylinder.
[0002] As clearly shown in the drawings, there is also a circular aluminum ring with sixteen holes on top. The ring is attached below the outer cylinder, and the rods are secured by inserting them into the ring. There are sixteen rods made of aluminum. On the opposite side is a piece shaped like a cylinder, but with different diameters. There are sixteen holes on the bottom into which the rods are inserted.
[0003] The head of the perforated cylinder is inserted from below by inserting it into this piece. There is a holder for the parts, into which the filter and the air cooler are inserted from above. On the other side, the cigarette tongs are inserted into the head of the perforated cylinder. The cigarette tongs are designed to narrow from bottom to top to hold and hang all cigarettes of different diameters, as clearly shown in the drawings. The two parts are designed as follows: The air cooler is located immediately below the filter and is made of aluminum. There are rectangular slots at the ends specifically designed to direct the smoke to the filter after it exits the cigarette head. There is also a gap between the air cooler and the cigarette head, as clearly shown in the drawings.The filter consists of a medical-grade plastic cylinder and has a rectangle that divides the plastic cylinder into two sections. Each section consists of a package of finely woven plastic fibers. The plastic fibers are attached to the wall inside. The outer shell is made of aluminum and serves as a support for the holder. This consists of two parts: the smoke outlet and the shell in which the holder is placed.
[0004] The outer holder for the parts, into which the filter and air cooler are inserted from above, is inserted into the inner wrapper of the cigarette, as clearly shown in the drawings As the name suggests, the environmentally friendly cigarette solves the filtering problem, that is, the cigarettes are completely inserted except for the part that holds the cigarette. Since the filter is there and is made of medical plastic, it fulfills its filtering function. The plastic filter is not replaced, but cleaned or washed. Of course, we can also use the current cigarettes on the market that contain a filter until we produce cigarettes that do not contain a filter.
[0005] The second problem solved concerns cleanliness and safety. You can smoke without ash or tobacco falling out of the cigarette head, and without causing fires, because the cigarette is in a container. This eliminates the need for an ashtray, as there is a gap between the end of the cigarette and the bottom of the container. The third problem solved concerns controlling the amount of smoke. The cigarette is extinguished when the small window is closed, the only place where air enters the container and is located below the container. The cigarette goes out after a certain time because the container contains a lot of air. This feature allows us to determine the desired amount in advance by controlling the air flow into the container. This feature also helps people who want to reduce or quit smoking.The fourth problem solved concerns the unpleasant odor that develops when cigarettes are touched and held between the fingers while lighting and smoking them. This is different with the eco-friendly cigarette, as there is no direct contact between the hand and the cigarette during lighting and smoking.
