Benefits of technology
The disclosed device, system, and method are designed to channel tobacco smoke from a user, allowing for full flavor filters or light filters to be used with cigarettes. The device includes an inner tube and an outer tube with a seal between them. A tube pump and a hand pump may be included. A mouthpiece with a one-way valve and a pneumatic pump are also included. A system version of the device includes a chamber to enclose the cigarette. The technical effect of this invention is that it provides a safer and more effective way to filter tobacco smoke, allowing for better control and taste.
Problems solved by technology
This smoke is considered objectionable by some persons and this has led to no-smoking laws of varying degrees of strictness in certain jurisdictions and environments.
However, no device disclosed in the prior art known to the applicants provides for the elimination of substantially all the visible side stream and exhale smoke and provides the same smoking taste and quality to the smoker as if smoked in the normal way.
Smoke filters are however of marginal performance so as to not remove the various components of cigarette smoke which give the user the desired taste and flavor.

A disclosed system for channeling tobacco smoke from a user comprises an inner tube received into an outer tube to channel tobacco smoke from a cigarette. The inner tube comprises a seal between an overlap end of the inner tube and an overlap end of the outer tube. A mouthpiece receives the cigarette and a one-way valve defines at least one hole for an opposing air flow against an inner diaphragm based on a depression by the user's mouth on the cigarette and on the mouthpiece. The system additionally includes a pneumatic pump comprising the inner tube, the outer tube, the seal and a pump interface attached to a portion of the outer tube. The pump interface includes a connector to further channel the tobacco smoke. The system furthermore comprises a chamber including the mouthpiece and a segment of the inner tube, the chamber configured to completely enclose the cigarette.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]When a cigarette is smoked, visible and invisible smoke is produced, by smoke spillage, exhale smoke and as well side stream smoke which is generated by the burning cigarette between puffs. This smoke is considered objectionable by some persons and this has led to no-smoking laws of varying degrees of strictness in certain jurisdictions and environments.[0002]A number of prior proposals have been made with respect to structures which are designed to minimize or eliminate the formation and accumulation of visible cigarette smoke from tobacco, marijuana and other sources. Such prior proposals have tackled the major source of cigarette smoke; namely that derived from side stream smoke and exhale smoke. It is appreciated that smoke spillage is only one component of visible smoke. However, no device disclosed in the prior art known to the applicants provides for the elimination of substantially all the visible side stream and exhale smoke and provides the...
