Abstract
Description
A gas distribution device and a composition containing the same TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of medical devices and consumer products, in particular to a gas distribution device and a composition containing the same. BACKGROUND
[0002] Oral inhalation devices include medical nebulizers, non-medical electronic nebulizers, vapor electronic cigarettes, cannabidiol (CBD) electronic cigarettes, heat-not-burn electronic cigarettes (HNB), combustion-type cigarettes, and tobacco smoking tools, such as cigarettes, cigars, pipes, and hookahs. The smoke of non-medical electronic nebulizers and CBD electronic cigarettes without nicotine is also called aerosol.
[0003] Medical nebulizers treat upper respiratory diseases such as pharyngitis, laryngitis, and tonsillitis by allowing patients to inhale drug liquid aerosols. The advantages are that the drug liquid aerosols can be directly deposited in the oral cavity and nasal cavity without being metabolized by the digestive tract and liver. The disadvantages are that: 1) the medical nebulizer mask cannot accelerate the drug liquid aerosols in a targeted manner, resulting in the drug liquid aerosols floating in the mask, and the drug liquid aerosols become large after absorbing moisture in the high-humidity oral cavity and nostrils, which slows down the flow rate, and the nasal hair also hinders their deep penetration, so the drug liquid aerosols can only be deposited in the oral mucosa and nostrils, with less deposition in the throat, lungs, and deep nasal cavity, making it difficult to treat lower respiratory diseases such as trachea, bronchus, and alveoli; 2) although increasing the power of the medical nebulizer can reduce the particle size of the drug liquid aerosols and increase the flow rate, allowing the drug liquid aerosols to be deposited in the lower respiratory tract and deep nasal cavity, the increased motor noise makes the patient uncomfortable; 3) part of the drug liquid aerosols in the nebulizer mask flows back to the medical nebulizer, not only wasting the drug, but also damaging the medical nebulizer circuit; 4) the integrated mask covers the mouth, nose, and part of the cheeks, and the drug liquid aerosols deposited on the cheeks are not only wasted but also disliked by some users.
[0004] In addition to the nicotine and tobacco aroma substances that users want to intake, there are hundreds of harmful substances in cigarette smoke, including tar, carbon monoxide (CO), carbonyl compounds, nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs), benzopyrene (BaP), heavy metals, and free radicals. Among them, the carbonyl compounds are mainly formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, acetone, acrolein, propionaldehyde, crotonaldehyde, 2-butanone, and butyraldehyde. The intermittent puffing airflow pause and the ash obstruction of the burning cone hinder the air exchange, causing the tobacco to smolder and pyrolyze in an oxygen-deficient environment, resulting in the CO and NOx in the sidestream smoke being 2-11 times higher than the corresponding harmful substances in the mainstream smoke. The sidestream smoke diffuses into the air, not only harming others, but also being inhaled by the user's nostrils and scalp pores, endangering the user's health. The drawbacks of current cigarette filters and other smoke filtering devices are: (1) they cannot reduce the harm of sidestream smoke to users; (2) they mainly use cellulose acetate and other physical adsorbents to adsorb the harmful substances in the mainstream smoke, with small adsorption capacity and easy desorption, so that the harmful substances in the smoke after eight puffs are much higher than those in the first few puffs; (3) when cellulose acetate and other physical adsorbents adsorb the harmful substances in the mainstream smoke, they also adsorb nicotine and tobacco aroma substances, but in order to meet the user's nicotine satisfaction efficiency and tobacco aroma, the filter and other smoke filtering devices can only reduce the adsorption rate of the smoke components, making it difficult for the harmful substances to be reduced by more than 50%; it is known that cigar smoke has more harmful substances than cigarette smoke, but in order to maintain the flavor, cigar does not even use a filter; undoubtedly, this compromise is not conducive to the user's health. (4) the lack of nicotine compensation in cigarette filters and other smoke filtering devices will cause users to increase the number of puffs to obtain the required nicotine, and instead intake more harmful substances in the smoke.
[0005] Electronic cigarettes are a kind of harm reduction tools that simulate the transmission of nicotine from cigarettes to the user's oral cavity, but many smokers do not like electronic cigarettes, and they complain that the nicotine satisfaction efficiency and tobacco aroma of electronic cigarettes are much worse than those of cigarettes. Moreover, studies have found that metal parts in electronic cigarettes can migrate metal ions into the smoke oil and mix into the smoke, and even the content of some heavy metals in each puff of electronic cigarette smoke is higher than that in each puff of cigarette smoke. Even if the intake of heavy metals per puff is less than 1 nanogram, heavy metals are difficult to excrete from the body, and will accumulate and cause poisoning over time.

After the temperature is decreased to room temperature, a proper amount of porous alumina particles is added and ultrasonically treated for 0.5 h. The porous alumina particles loaded with MCM-48-NH2 are obtained after filtration and drying.
[0012] In some embodiments, the filter unit contains biomass or biomass modified with functional groups or metal ions and carriers, which can trap carbonyl compounds and hydrogen cyanide in the flue gas. The biomass includes, but is not limited to, tea, chitosan and its derivatives, chitin and its derivatives, cyclodextrin, cellulose, catalase, glutathione, etc. For example, 2 g of chitosan is dissolved in 98 g of 1% hydrochloric acid. After the pH is adjusted to 4.8 by using 0.1% NaOH solution, 0.8 g of copper sulfate is added and stirred for 1 min. The amino in the chitosan is complexed with Cu 2+ to form chitosan-Cu 2+ After 10 g of medical stone particles are added and continuously stirred for 1 h, the medical stone particles are ultrasonically treated for 0.5 h. The medical stone particles filtered and washed with 95% alcohol are dried at 60°C to obtain the medical stone loaded with chitosan-Cu 2+ .
[0013] In some embodiments, the filter unit contains carriers loaded with one or more sub-valence metal ions, which can trap nitrogen oxides in the flue gas. The sub-valence metal ions include, but are not limited to, Cu + , Fe 2+ , Ni 2+ , Mn 2+ , Co 2+ . For example, 20 g of sepiolite is added to 500 ml of a solution containing 1 M Co 2+ and 1 M Mn 2+ , stirred for 2 h, filtered, washed with water, and dried, and then calcined in nitrogen (N2) for 3 h to obtain the sepiolite loaded with manganese suboxide-cobalt suboxide (MnO-CoO). NiSO4 and EDTA-2Na are respectively added to water and stirred to obtain Ni 2+EDTA aqueous solution. The stability of sub-valence metal ions can also be improved by using a cage carrier, including but not limited to NaY, NaX, 13X, HZSM, 3A, 4A, etc. molecular sieves, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), ion exchange resins, etc. For example, 50 g of NaY molecular sieve particles are added to 30 ml of 1 M copper chloride aqueous solution, heated at 100 °C and stirred for 4 h in a closed system, Cu 2+ is exchanged for Cu 2+ and reduced to Cu + , and cooled to room temperature in N2. Cu + -NaY molecular sieve. 1.16 g of Ni(NO3)2·6H2O, 0.33 g of terephthalic acid, 15 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) are uniformly mixed, then the pH is adjusted to 4 with 10% hydrochloric acid, and stirred for 0.5 h before being transferred to a reaction kettle lined with polytetrafluoroethylene. After being heated at 120 °C in a closed system for 20 h, the supernatant is removed by centrifugation, and the precipitate is washed with DMF and ethanol for 3 times before being soaked in dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) for activation. After 3 days, the supernatant is removed by centrifugation, and the precipitate is dried at 150 °C under vacuum for 4 h to obtain Ni 2+ -MOFs nanoparticles; 2 g of oxalic acid is dissolved in 20 g of ethanol, 1 g of Ni 2+ -MOFs nanoparticles and 5 g of porous ceramic microspheres are stirred at room temperature until the ethanol is completely volatilized, and the solid is calcined at 300 °C in N2for 4 h to remove oxalic acid to obtain Ni 2+ -MOFs loaded porous ceramic microspheres. 20 g of porous resin particles and 100 ml of Fe(II)-EDTA-Na2SO3aqueous solution are added to a flask and stirred. In the aqueous solution, [Fe(II)-EDTA] 2- is ion exchanged with Cl - in the resin framework. After 3 h, the resin particles loaded with Fe(II)-EDTA are obtained by filtration, washing and drying.
[0014] In some embodiments, the carrier in the filtration unit is basic, such as sodium hydroxide aqueous solution, which can trap acidic hazardous substances such as HCN in flue gas.
[0015] In some embodiments, the filtration unit contains antioxidants and / or selenium elements, which can remove free radicals in flue gas. Antioxidants include but are not limited to tea polyphenols, carnosic acid, rosemary acid, squalene, tocopherol, astaxanthin, vitamins, anthocyanins, lutein; selenium elements include but are not limited to inorganic selenium, biological selenium, etc., such as selenium-rich yeast and selenium-rich plants, etc.
[0016] In some embodiments, the filter unit contains porphyrin or metalloporphyrin and a carrier, which can trap benzopyrene, N-nitrosamine, CO, NOx, HCN in the flue gas. For example, iron porphyrin or iron porphyrin-loaded activated carbon is prepared as follows: 50 ml of saturated ferrous nitrate ethanol solution is added to a 250 ml flask, which is protected by N2 and controlled at 60°C in a water bath. Then, 25 ml of ethanol solution containing 0.2 g of original porphyrin sodium is added, and stirred for 4 h. Then, 50 ml of chloroform is added, and the chloroform layer is separated. Then, 50 ml of 0.1 M sodium hydroxide is added to the chloroform layer, which is completely dissolved. Then, 20 vol% hydrochloric acid is added to adjust the pH of the solution to less than 5. A large amount of black-green precipitate is separated out, which is filtered and dried at 40°C under vacuum for 12 h to obtain iron porphyrin. Then, the iron porphyrin is dissolved in CH2Cl2, and activated carbon is added and adsorbed for 10 h. Then, the activated carbon is dried at 40°C under vacuum for 12 h to obtain iron porphyrin-loaded activated carbon.
[0017] In some embodiments, the filter unit contains a complexing agent, which can trap heavy metals in the flue gas. The complexing agent includes, but is not limited to, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA-2Na), cysteine, citric acid, dithiocarbamate, dithizone. The complexing agent is dissolved in a liquid carrier, or loaded on a solid carrier or a colloidal carrier.
[0018] In some embodiments, a small amount of color developing agent is dissolved in an ionic liquid or adsorbed on other filter materials, so that the color developing agent is arranged in the filter unit. The color developing agent is preferably highly sensitive to heavy metals, including but not limited to porphyrin, disazo reagent, methyl thymol blue color developing agent. Through the color change of the color developing agent, the user can perceive the heavy metals trapped in the filter unit. For easy observation, the shell of the gas distribution device corresponding to the filter unit is made of transparent material or embedded with a small piece of magnifying glass.
[0019] In some embodiments, the filter unit is set into the gas distribution device, and some additional intake substances are pre-adsorbed. The additional intake substances include, but are not limited to, aroma substances such as menthol, tobacco essence, and fruit essence; alkaloids such as nicotine, arecoline, and caffeine; and functional substances such as cannabidiol, nasal powder, rosemary, and herbal extract. In the mouth suction branch, throat-clearing and lung-moistening functional substances or flavorings such as cool, sour, and sweet are set; and in the nose suction branch, tobacco essence, fruit essence, or functional substances for clearing the nose are set to meet the needs of the human mouth, nose, and connected organs. For example, a proper amount of iron porphyrin and β-cyclodextrin are dissolved in a 50% ethanol aqueous solution, and then the solution is immersed in acetic acid fibers and ultrasonically treated for 0.5 h. After the acetic acid fibers are taken out, they are dried at 80°C in a ventilated oven to obtain acetic acid fibers loaded with iron porphyrin and β-cyclodextrin. Then, 0.1 g of menthol, nicotine, arecoline, caffeine, rosemary extract, momordica grosvenori extract, linalool, lily essential oil, pear extract, and pipa extract are weighed and mixed to form a 1 g mixture, which is slowly added to 99 g of the acetic acid fibers loaded with iron porphyrin and β-cyclodextrin to pre-adsorb the additional intake substances.
[0020] In some embodiments, after the filter unit is set into the gas distribution device, some additional intake substances can be adsorbed on site. For example, 0.05 g of tobacco essence, 0.05 g of nicotine, and 0.01 g of clove extract are dissolved in a mixture of 2.28 ml of polyethylene glycol-600 (PEG-600) and 5.72 ml of glyceryl triacetate, and then 0.1 g of β-cyclodextrin is added and stirred for 3 h to obtain a β-cyclodextrin suspension as a liquid filter material. The β-cyclodextrin in the suspension can not only adsorb harmful substances such as tar and nitrosamine in smoke, but also physically adsorb tobacco essence, nicotine, and clove on site and then release them into the mouth suction branch or the nose suction branch. The principle is that β-cyclodextrin has poor solubility in glyceryl triacetate, and a part of the β-cyclodextrin is dissolved in the mixture by the solubilizing agent PEG-600. The suspended β-cyclodextrin and the dissolved β-cyclodextrin dynamically alternate, and the dissolved β-cyclodextrin adsorbs tobacco essence, nicotine, and clove molecules dissolved in the mixture using its unique molecular hole structure, and then alternately suspends on the liquid surface and releases them.
[0021] In some embodiments, one carrier in the filtering unit can also be loaded on another carrier or carriers. For example, ionic liquid is loaded on a carrier such as silica gel; ionic liquid can also dissolve a variety of substances such as complexing agents, biomass, antioxidants, essences, alkaloids, etc. After more substances are dissolved in ionic liquid, the paste-like filtering material is then loaded on a solid carrier such as cellulose acetate. Ionic liquid is almost non-volatile. Ionic liquid includes but is not limited to coordination ionic liquid, amino acid ionic liquid, and composite ionic liquid, etc. Among them, amino acid ionic liquid can intercept HCN and aldehyde in flue gas. The principle is that amino can form Schiff base compound with aldehyde group, and amino can also undergo acid-base neutralization reaction with HCN. For example, choline-lysine ionic liquid with dissolved EDTA-2Na is loaded on other carriers. The preparation method is as follows: choline hydroxide and lysine are mixed at a molar ratio of 1:1.05, stirred at 3°C for 48h, then distilled at 55°C under reduced pressure to remove water, then mixed solvent of acetonitrile-methanol (volume ratio 9:1) is added to the remaining material, then stirred and extracted, then unreacted lysine is removed by filtration, then the filtrate is distilled at 40°C under reduced pressure to remove the solvent, then the remaining material is vacuum dried at 70°C for 48h to obtain choline-lysine ionic liquid ([Ch][Lys]); then 0.5g of EDTA-2Na is dissolved in 10g of [Ch][Lys] to obtain EDTA-[Ch][Lys] ionic liquid; then 5g of porous silica gel with a particle size of about 10 microns is kneaded for 1h to obtain porous silica gel loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys], or a proper amount of EDTA-[Ch][Lys] is dropped onto a porous polypropylene fiber carrier to obtain polypropylene fiber loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys] as a liquid-solid composite filtering material. 0.15g of β-cyclodextrin and 0.05g of cellulose are dissolved in 10g of NaOH aqueous solution with pH of 9, then 3g of porous silica gel loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys] and 46.8g of selenium-rich plant stems and leaves are added and stirred uniformly, then water is removed by mechanical hot pressing to obtain a cylindrical porous filter core containing 6wt% of porous silica gel loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys], 93.6wt% of selenium-rich plant stems and leaves, 0.3wt% of β-cyclodextrin, and 0.1wt% of cellulose, which is cut into 5mm in length as a filtering unit; the filtering unit is hung in a vial, 1ml of each of tobacco extract, xanthium extract, passion fruit extract, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, jasmine flower essential oil, osmanthus essential oil, and magnolia flower essential oil are added to the bottom of the vial to form a mixed solution, the vial is closed and placed at 4°C for 10h, then taken out, and a variety of additional intake substances are pre-adsorbed on the filtering unit.
[0022] In some embodiments, a gas-permeable tube plug or a gas-permeable tube plug compounded with a liquid-repellent material is also provided in the gas distribution device. For example, 1 wt% of 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H tridecafluoro octyl triethoxysilane (FAS) or other fluoro silane is dissolved in anhydrous ethanol, 1 wt% of water is added, and the mixture is stirred for 5 h before being immersed in a cylindrical porous ceramic. The mixture is left to stand for 24 h to allow the fluoro silane molecules to be fully adsorbed on the framework of the porous ceramic. The porous ceramic is then removed and baked at 100 °C for 5 h to produce a gas-permeable tube plug with a liquid-repellent surface. The gas-permeable tube plug can be a regular mesh or a mesh coated with a liquid-repellent material. For example, a homogeneous emulsion of 30 wt% polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) microparticles with a particle size of less than 3 microns, 10 wt% polyvinyl acetate, 8 wt% polyvinyl alcohol, 2 wt% sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate, and 50 wt% water is stirred and then uniformly sprayed onto a metal mesh with a pore size of 30-420 microns. The mesh is then baked at 350 °C for 0.5 h to produce a metal mesh compounded with PTFE. The gas-permeable tube plug can also be a plastic mesh or a plastic mesh attached to a liquid-repellent and gas-permeable membrane, such as a PTFE membrane and a polypropylene membrane. The gas-permeable tube plug compounded with a liquid-repellent material can prevent the leakage of liquid carriers in the gas distribution device but does not prevent the flow of gaseous substances in the gas distribution device.
[0023] In some embodiments, the framework of the gas-permeable tube plug can also be loaded with a filter material or an adsorbent for additional intake substances. For example, an appropriate amount of β-cyclodextrin and iron porphyrin as a filter material is dissolved in 30 ml of CH2Cl2 containing 0.2 g of carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.3 g of acrylamide. 0.05 g of initiator KPS and 0.1 ml of epichlorohydrin are then quickly added and stirred for 3 min before being immersed in a metal mesh. The metal mesh is left to stand for 1 h before being removed. After being ventilated for 48 h to completely remove CH2Cl2, a thin layer of gel containing β-cyclodextrin and iron porphyrin is loaded onto the metal mesh, which is then hung in a vial to adsorb additional intake substances such as nicotine and flavoring.
[0024] In some embodiments, a nosepiece or a universal tube and other accessories are also provided in the nose inhalation branch of the gas distribution device. A flow regulating valve is also provided in the nose inhalation branch. The user can adjust the valve area in the gas path to control the flow of gaseous substances in the nose inhalation branch, thereby preventing nasal irritation.
[0025] In some embodiments, the connection between the gas connection section of the gas distribution device and the outlet of the mouthpiece, or the connection between the gas connection section and the mouth inhalation branch or the nose inhalation branch, or the connection between the Tesla valve sleeve, the sleeve containing the filter unit, and the adapter tube in the gas distribution device, can be achieved by nesting or threaded connection.
[0026] In some embodiments, the angle between the gas connection section of the gas distribution device and the mouthpiece, the angle between the mouth inhalation branch and the user's face, and the angle between the nose inhalation branch and the mouth inhalation branch, can be adjusted between 0° and 180°.
[0027] In some embodiments, the distance between the end of the nasal inhalation branch of the gas distribution device and the user's nostrils is one of: (1) approximately the distance between the cigarette tip and the nostrils when the user directly inhales the cigarette; (2) close to but not in contact with the nostrils; (3) covering the nostrils through the nasal inhalation cover; and (4) directly inserted into one or both nostrils.
[0028] In some embodiments, the gas distribution device is also provided with openings and sealing plugs for replacing the filter unit and the filter material. The gas inlet of the gas distribution device and the ends of the nasal inhalation branch and the mouth inhalation branch are also provided with sealing covers to prevent the additional intake from escaping and to keep the interior of the gas distribution device clean when the gas distribution device is not in use.
[0029] In some embodiments, the gas distribution device is placed in the cavity of a cylinder provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and forms a composition with the battery, fan, etc. in the cavity. The airflow generated by the fan can continuously blow the burning cone of the cigarette, not only blowing away the sidestream smoke from the user's nostrils and scalp pores, but also accelerating the airflow around the burning cone, supplementing fresh air in time during the burning process of the tobacco, reducing incomplete combustion, and thus reducing harmful substances such as tar, CO, NOx, etc. in the mainstream smoke.
[0030] The technical principle of the present application is that when the oral inhalation member is activated by the key to release gaseous substances, the Tesla valve in the gas distribution device can positively conduct the gaseous substances to enter the user's mouth and nose through the mouth inhalation branch and the nasal inhalation branch, respectively. When the oral inhalation member is triggered by the mouth inhalation airflow to release gaseous substances, the Tesla valve in the nasal inhalation branch can not only positively conduct gaseous substances, but also reversely inhibit external air from entering the gas distribution device, thereby maintaining negative pressure in the gas distribution device, and allowing the gaseous substances released by the oral inhalation member to enter the gas distribution device, one way through the mouth inhalation branch into the user's oral cavity, and the other way through the nasal inhalation branch into the user's nasal cavity or transmitted to the user's nostrils, achieving simultaneous intake of the gaseous substances released by the oral inhalation member into the mouth and nose.
[0031] Unexpectedly, when the gas outlet of the key-activated medical atomizer is combined with the gas distribution device, the end of the mouth inhalation branch of the gas distribution device can reach the throat of the user's mouth, and the end of the nasal inhalation branch can also be inserted into the patient's nostrils, so that the liquid atomized substance can avoid the high-humidity environment of the oral cavity and the blockage of nasal hair and penetrate deep into the throat, lungs, and nasal cavity, which is helpful for curing lower respiratory tract diseases such as trachea, bronchus, alveolus, and rhinitis.
[0032] Unexpectedly, by providing a Tesla valve in the gas distribution device, not only can the flow rate of gaseous substances be increased, but also the particle size of gaseous substances can be refined. The principle is that when the gaseous substances released by the oral inhalation member pass through the Tesla valve, the gaseous substances are expanded and then compressed in the valve, and the pressure difference changes cause the gaseous substances to rapidly impact the obstruction surface, and the gaseous substances are broken into smaller particles. Obviously, this is beneficial to improving the efficacy of medical atomizers and improving the smoking experience of electronic cigarettes and cigarettes.
[0033] Unexpectedly: when the user inhales the suction airflow from the end of the mouth suction branch of the gas distribution device, the smoke released by the electronic cigarette can be automatically distributed into two paths by the gas distribution device and enter the user's mouth and nose, which can simulate the scene that the user's mouth and nose simultaneously inhale mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke from the same cigarette during smoking. Due to the physiological characteristics of human organs connected to the mouth and nose and brain perception, nicotine transmission efficiency from the nose is higher than that from the mouth, and the brain "mirror" neural signal recognition efficiency of aroma substances transmitted from the nose is higher than that from the mouth. Therefore, whether the user places the end of the nose suction branch close to the nostrils, covers the nostrils with a nose suction cover, or directly inserts it into the nostrils, the nicotine satisfaction efficiency and smoke flavor of the electronic cigarette will be greatly improved.
[0034] Unexpectedly: the gas distribution device can also adjust the distribution ratio of gaseous substances released by the mouth suction piece in the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch. For example: when the gas distribution device connected to the electronic cigarette or cigarette is only provided with a Tesla valve in the nose suction branch, or a baffle or fan is provided in the gas connection section, it can increase the smoke entering the nose suction branch and reduce the smoke entering the mouth suction branch, which has three benefits: (1) More smoke entering the nose can further improve the nicotine satisfaction efficiency and smoke flavor of the electronic cigarette or cigarette; (2) More smoke entering the nose can reduce the risk of some essences in the electronic cigarette smoke continuously depositing in the alveoli after entering the lungs through the mouth, and can also reduce the harm of cigarette smoke to the user's mouth and lungs; (3) The hair in the nostrils or the mucus in the nasal cavity will block the harmful substances such as tar in the smoke from deep into other organs of the human body, and also expel the trapped harmful substances out of the body in the form of nasal discharge.
[0035] Unexpectedly: the gaseous substances released by the mouth suction piece can act as a carrier gas to improve the volatilization speed and temperature of additional intake substances in the gas distribution device. The smoke released by cigarettes and electronic cigarettes is usually 40-60°C, which can directly heat these additional intake substances, improving the sensory experience of additional intake substances entering the user's mouth and nose, especially some aroma substances.
[0036] Unexpectedly: some color developing agents in the filter unit can themselves trap heavy metals in the smoke, and when accumulated to the microgram level, they can cause color changes visible to the human eye. Such color developing agents include but are not limited to: meso-tetra-(p-sulfophenyl) porphyrin, tetra(4-methoxy-4-sulfonic acid phenyl) porphyrin, tetra(4-methoxy-3-sulfonic acid phenyl) porphyrin, tetraphenylporphyrin, meso-tetra(4-chlorophenyl) porphyrin, meso-tetra(p-hydroxyphenyl) porphyrin, meso-tetra(4-nitrophenyl) porphyrin, 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol, 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol.
[0037] Unexpectedly: due to the high aromaticity of porphyrin compounds, when porphyrin compounds are used as filter materials and color developing agents in the filter unit, they can also increase the aroma that users feel when using the mouth suction piece.
[0038] Unexpectedly, the Tesla valve in the gas distribution device can prevent the backflow of gaseous substances released by the mouthpiece into the mouthpiece, thereby reducing the aerosol condensate at the outlet of the medical atomizer and the vapor electronic cigarette, and reducing the risk of corrosion of the circuit in the mouthpiece.
[0039] Unexpectedly, the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch of the gas distribution device can also exchange positions. For example, the electronic cigarette rod is originally parallel to the mouth suction branch and perpendicular to the nose suction branch, and after exchanging positions, the mouth suction branch is perpendicular to the rod, and the user's face is almost parallel to the direction of the rod when inhaling the electronic cigarette.
[0040] The difference between the present application and the prior art is:
[0041] (1) The cigarette filter and other smoke filtration devices are difficult to reduce the main harmful substances in mainstream smoke by more than 50% without reducing nicotine satisfaction efficiency and smoke flavor, and cannot reduce the harm of sidestream smoke to users. The gas distribution device and the composition containing the gas distribution device of the present application can reduce the main harmful substances in the mouth suction branch smoke by more than 55% relative to the main harmful substances in the mainstream smoke of a cigarette, and reduce the main harmful substances in the nose suction branch smoke by more than 93% relative to the main harmful substances in the sidestream smoke of a cigarette, without reducing nicotine satisfaction efficiency and smoke flavor.
[0042] (2) Patents CN217509876U, CN218571414U, CN112450490A, CN112586805A, and CN214431833U respectively set Tesla valves in the bottom component of the electronic cigarette atomizer, the smoke intensification chamber, the electronic cigarette cartridge, the sealing structure of the electronic cigarette cartridge, and the airflow channel of the microphone. All of them set Tesla valves inside the electronic cigarette to improve the problems of oil leakage or sealing of the electronic cigarette. Not only do they need to modify the internal structure of the existing electronic cigarette, but also the Tesla valve placed in an electronic cigarette cannot be combined with other electronic cigarettes. The present application does not need to modify the mouthpiece, and the Tesla valve is set in the gas distribution device outside the mouthpiece. The gas distribution device containing the Tesla valve can be quickly combined with other mouthpieces after the Tesla valve is placed in a gas distribution device.
[0043] ⑥PCT / CN2021 / 124562 patent discloses an oral-nasal coordinated electronic cigarette, the electronic cigarette smoke can only enter the oral cavity but cannot enter the user's nasal cavity at the same time, and the electronic cigarette structure needs to be modified and the essence carrier needs to be added to make the nasal cavity simultaneously inhale the essence, so the oral inhalation material and the nasal inhalation material are from different sources, which cannot simulate the scene that the mainstream smoke and the sidestream smoke of the cigarette come from the same material, and in order to heat the nasal inhalation essence, a special heating device needs to be specially arranged in the nasal inhalation module. The gas distribution device of the present application can directly distribute the gaseous material released by the oral inhalation member into two paths and enter the user's mouth and nose without modifying the oral inhalation member; and when the oral inhalation member is an electronic cigarette or a cigarette, the temperature of the smoke in the nasal inhalation branch can reach 40-60 DEG C without a special heating device, which can also assist in heating some additional intake materials in the nasal inhalation branch.
[0044] ⑦Patent CN104248043B discloses a smoke flavor compensation device, an electronic cigarette and a filter for a cigarette holder, but only the smoke flavor can be compensated. The gas distribution device of the present application not only compensates the smoke flavor, but also compensates the nicotine and increases other additional intake materials.
[0045] The beneficial effects of the present application are: the present application points out a gas distribution device and a composition containing the same, without modifying the oral inhalation member, the gaseous material released by the oral inhalation member is automatically distributed into two paths by the Tesla valve in the gas distribution device, one path of gaseous material enters the user's oral cavity from the mouth inhalation branch, and the other path of gaseous material enters the user's nasal cavity or is released beside the user's nostrils, so that: the use experience and medical effect of the medical atomizer can be improved; the same source of smoke can be inhaled by the user's mouth and nose at the same time to improve the smoking experience; and the fan airflow and / or the filtering unit can be used to reduce the harmful substances contained in the smoke in the mouth inhalation branch and the nasal inhalation branch of the electronic cigarette or the cigarette, and on the premise that the nicotine meets the efficiency and the smoke flavor is not reduced, the harm reduction of the electronic cigarette and the cigarette exceeds that of the prior art, and some additional intake materials can be inhaled by the user's mouth and nose respectively.

[0076] Example 1
[0077] The Tesla valve comprises an inlet pipe 01, a plurality of intermediate pipe units 02 connected in series, and an outlet pipe 03. The intermediate pipe unit comprises an inclined branch pipe 021, an inlet connecting pipe 022 arranged on one side of the inclined branch pipe, and an outlet connecting pipe 023 arranged on the other side of the inclined branch pipe. The inclined branch pipe is connected in parallel with a ring-shaped branch pipe 024. The inlet connecting pipe 022 is connected with the inlet pipe 01, and the outlet connecting pipe 023 is connected with the outlet pipe 03. The Tesla valve can accelerate the forward fluid in multiple stages and throttle the reverse fluid in multiple stages. After the mask of the comparative example 1 medical atomizer is removed, the gas outlet of the medical atomizer is combined with the gas connection section 102 of the gas distribution device 101, the first gasket 103 is adhered to the inner side of the gas connection port of the gas connection section, and the first Tesla valve 104 is arranged in the gas connection section. The gas connection section is horizontally connected with the first gas distribution pipe 105, the first gas distribution pipe is connected with the first sleeve pipe 107 containing the second Tesla valve 106, the second gasket 108 is fixed on the gas inlet housing of the first sleeve pipe, and the first gas distribution pipe and the first sleeve pipe form a mouth suction branch. The gas connection section is also vertically connected with the second gas distribution pipe 109, the second gas distribution pipe is connected with the second sleeve pipe 111 containing the third Tesla valve 110, the third gasket 112 is fixed on the gas inlet housing of the second sleeve pipe, and the gas outlet of the second sleeve pipe is connected with the air pipe in the nasal suction mask 113, which communicates with two gas holes 114 aligned with the nostrils of the user. The nasal suction mask is made of soft silica gel and can be attached to the nose. The fixing belts 115 on both sides of the nasal suction mask are connected with each other and are wrapped around the head of the user. The second gas distribution pipe, the second sleeve pipe, and the nasal suction mask form a nasal suction branch. The medical atomizer is filled with liquid medicine and started, and the liquid medicine aerosol released from the gas outlet is divided into two paths by the gas distribution device. One path enters the oral cavity of the patient from the mouth suction branch, and the other path enters the nasal cavity of the patient through the nasal suction branch. After the medical atomizer used by the five patients in the comparative example 1 is combined with the gas distribution device, the young woman no longer complains that the liquid medicine aerosol is deposited on her face, the boy and the old man are willing to insert the first sleeve pipe deep into their oral cavities or even close to their throats, and the young man feels that more liquid medicine aerosol is deposited in his lower respiratory tract. After several days of continuous use, the symptoms of bronchitis and cough are significantly improved. In addition, a disposable mouthpiece sleeve can be connected to the end of the first sleeve pipe, and a hose can be added between the second sleeve pipe and the nasal suction mask to improve the flexibility of the nasal suction mask.
[0078] Example 2
[0079] The solid cartridge mouthpiece of the HNB electronic cigarette in Comparative Example 2 was inserted into the gas connection port 203 in the gas connection section 202 of the gas distributor 201. The first internal thread joint 204 in the gas connection section connected the first external thread joint 206 in the mouth suction pipe 205 to form the mouth suction branch; the second internal thread joint 207 in the gas connection section connected the second external thread joint 210 in the sleeve 209 containing the Tesla valve 208 to form the nose suction branch. After the HNB electronic cigarette was started, the solid cartridge was heated. When the user used the mouth to generate a suction airflow at the end of the mouth suction pipe, the suction airflow was throttled and blocked by the Tesla valve in the nose suction branch, so that the gas connection section maintained a negative pressure. The suction airflow made the smoke released by the solid cartridge enter the gas distributor and be divided into two paths. One path of the smoke entered the user's oral cavity from the mouth suction branch. At the same time, the other path of the smoke entered the nose suction branch and was accelerated and conducted by the first Tesla valve. The gas outlet of the nose suction branch was close to the user's nostrils, and the user's nasal cavity could inhale the smoke. The comprehensive evaluation of 10 taste testers was that: due to the fact that the smoke could be inhaled by the mouth and nose at the same time, the nicotine satisfaction efficiency and the smoke aroma of the HNB electronic cigarette were very close to those of a cigarette. In addition, the mouthpieces of the electronic atomizer, the steam electronic cigarette, the CBD electronic cigarette, the combustion type cigarette, the tobacco pipe, the water pipe and other mouth suction pieces were respectively inserted into the gas connection port 203 of the gas distributor. The gas distributor could also divide the smoke released by these mouth suction pieces into two paths to enter the user's oral cavity and nasal cavity, thereby improving the suction experience of these mouth suction pieces.
[0080] Example 3
[0081] The mouthpiece of the CBD electronic cigarette in Comparative Example 3 was inserted into the gas inlet 303 in the gas connection section 302 of the gas distribution device 301. The first internal threaded joint 304 in the gas connection section was connected to the first external threaded joint 306 in the first sleeve 305, which contained a cylindrical first filter unit 307, a gas-permeable tube plug 308, and a gas-permeable tube plug 309. The first filter unit contained polypropylene fibers loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys] as filter material, and the ionic liquid [Ch][Lys] contained a small amount of meso-tetra-(p-sulfonatophenyl) porphyrin as a color developing agent. The second internal threaded joint 310 in the first sleeve was connected to the second external threaded joint 312 in the second sleeve 311, which contained a first Tesla valve 313. The first sleeve and the second sleeve formed a mouth suction branch. The third internal threaded joint 314 in the gas connection section was connected to the third external threaded joint 316 in the third sleeve 315, which contained a second Tesla valve 317. The fourth internal threaded joint 318 in the third sleeve was connected to the fourth external threaded joint 320 in the fourth sleeve 319, which contained a second filter unit 321, a gas-permeable tube plug 322, and a gas-permeable tube plug 323. The second filter unit was also polypropylene fibers loaded with EDTA-[Ch][Lys], and the ionic liquid [Ch][Lys] contained a small amount of 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol as a color developing agent. The third sleeve and the fourth sleeve formed a nose suction branch. When the user used the mouth to generate a suction airflow at the end of the second sleeve, the suction airflow was blocked by the second Tesla valve in the nose suction branch, so that the suction airflow formed a negative pressure environment with the aerosol channel of the CBD electronic cigarette, thereby activating the airflow sensing switch in the electronic cigarette, starting to heat the CBD atomizing liquid and releasing aerosol. The aerosol was divided into two paths in the gas connection section, one path of the aerosol entered the user's oral cavity from the mouth suction branch, and the other path of the aerosol entered the user's nasal cavity from the nose suction branch. The comprehensive evaluation of six CBD users was that they could benefit from the simultaneous intake of CBD aerosol into the mouth and nose, and could relax their body and mind with fewer puffs. In addition, an inclined baffle 324 could be provided in the gas connection section, which could increase the aerosol entering the nose suction branch and reduce the aerosol entering the mouth suction branch. In addition, the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch could also exchange positions. When the mouth suction branch changed from parallel to the electronic cigarette rod to perpendicular to the electronic cigarette rod, the nose suction branch changed from perpendicular to the electronic cigarette rod to parallel to the electronic cigarette rod. At this time, the user's face was almost parallel to the rod, which could also make the CBD aerosol enter the user's oral cavity and nasal cavity at the same time. Using the suction system 64, the sum of the contents of nickel ions, chromium ions, and lead ions in the aerosol was detected during each puff of the CBD electronic cigarette. The contents of nickel ions, chromium ions, and lead ions in the aerosol during each puff of the CBD electronic cigarette in Comparative Example 3 and Example 3 were compared, and the results are shown in Table 1:

[0122] The filter in the trap is pre-treated with NaOH-ethanol / water solution using suction system 73 or 74 without a bag, 5 cigarettes are smoked, the HCN in the mainstream smoke is the sum of the HCN in the mainstream smoke trap and the absorption solution, and the HCN in the sidestream smoke is the sum of the HCN in the inner wall of the fish tail, the filter in the sidestream smoke trap and the absorption solution. The 0.1 M NaOH aqueous solution is used as the extractant for the filter in the trap, the absorbent in the absorption bottle and the cleaning agent for the inner wall of the fish tail.

According to the standard working curve, the content of HCN in each sidestream smoke and each mainstream smoke is calculated.
[0123] 2.6 Detection of carbonyl compounds in smoke

[0125] 2.7 Detection of free radicals in smoke
[0126] The free radicals were quantitatively detected by using the suction system 73 or 74 without the trap and the bag, and four absorption bottles were respectively filled with 20 ml of N-tert-butyl-α-phenyl nitrone tetrachloromethane solution (PBN-CCl4) with a concentration of 0.02 M as the absorbent. After one cigarette was smoked, the inner wall of the fume fish tail cover was immediately washed with tetrachloromethane, and the absorption liquid in two absorption bottles was combined and diluted to 100 ml as the sidestream smoke sample. The absorption liquid in the other two absorption bottles was combined and diluted to 100 ml as the mainstream smoke sample.

[0127] 2.8 Detection of heavy metals in smoke
[0128] The absorbent in the absorption bottle was 20 ml of 10 vol% nitric acid. The bag was removed from the suction system 73 or 74, and the trap was replaced by the electrostatic collection tube. After 10 cigarettes were smoked, the washing liquid for washing the inner wall of the electrostatic collection tube of the mainstream smoke and the absorption liquid in the absorption bottle of the mainstream smoke were both added to a digestion tank. After methanol and other organic impurities were evaporated, an appropriate amount of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide was added for microwave digestion, transfer and constant volume to obtain the mainstream smoke sample. The washing liquid for washing the inner wall of the fume fish tail cover and the inner wall of the electrostatic collection tube of the sidestream smoke, and the absorption liquid in the absorption bottle of the sidestream smoke were all added to another digestion tank. After methanol and other organic impurities were evaporated, an appropriate amount of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide was added for microwave digestion, transfer and constant volume to obtain the sidestream smoke sample. Nitric acid solutions of chromium, nickel and lead with different concentrations were prepared in advance as standard working solutions. The standard working curve was prepared by using the quantitative relationship between mass-to-charge ratio intensity and element concentration by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The content of chromium, nickel and lead in the sidestream smoke of each cigarette and in the mainstream smoke of each puff was respectively calculated.
[0129] 2.9 Detection of NOx in smoke
[0130] The suction system 81 or 82 was used to smoke 3 cigarettes. The mainstream smoke and the sidestream smoke passed through the filter holder, the double bulb glass tube and the absorption bottle respectively. The chromium trioxide-quartz sand in the double bulb glass tube oxidized NO in the gas phase to NO2, which was then absorbed by the triethanolamine solution in the absorption bottle to be converted into NO2 - and NO3 - . After ion exchange separation, the NOx content in the sidestream smoke of each cigarette and in the mainstream smoke of each puff was respectively calculated by using the conductive detector according to the standard working curve.
[0131] In 2.2-2.9 above, the plurality of components in the cigarette smoke in Comparative Example 5 were detected using suction system 71, suction system 73 and suction system 81. When the plurality of components in the cigarette smoke in Example 5 were detected using suction system 72, suction system 74 and suction system 82, the mainstream smoke was equivalent to the mouth suction branch smoke, and the sidestream smoke was equivalent to the nose suction branch smoke.
[0132] The technical effects of the above examples are:
[0133] Compared with Comparative Example 1, Example 1 uses the gas distribution device to divide the gaseous substances released by the medical atomizer into two paths, and then accelerates them through the Tesla valve and respectively enters the patient's oral cavity and nasal cavity, which helps the medical atomizer to treat lower respiratory tract diseases and improves the user experience.
[0134] Compared with Comparative Example 2, in Example 2, the user inhales the same smoke released by the HNB at the same time, simulates the user inhaling the mainstream smoke and sidestream smoke at the same time when smoking cigarettes, and narrows the gap between the smoking experience of electronic cigarettes and cigarettes.
[0135] Compared with Comparative Example 3, in Example 3, two polypropylene fiber filter units of EDTA-[Ch][Lys] are set, and the reduction of three heavy metal ions in the CBD electronic cigarette aerosol is 45.08%-51.32% per puff.
[0136] Compared with Comparative Example 4, in Example 4, four filter units are set, and the reduction of three heavy metal ions in the electronic cigarette smoke is 57.52%-64% per puff, and the reduction of four carbonyl compounds is 48.36%-52.99%.
[0137] The reduction of the main harmful substances in the mouth suction branch smoke of Example 5 per puff is 56.57%-100% compared with the main harmful substances in the cigarette mainstream smoke of Comparative Example 5 per puff, and the reduction of the main harmful substances in the nose suction branch smoke of Example 5 per cigarette is 93.38%-99.23% compared with the sidestream smoke of Comparative Example 5 per cigarette. The harm reduction effect of the gas distribution device composition on the user's intake of cigarette smoke exceeds the prior art. The main reasons are: (1) the fan airflow in the gas distribution device composition can timely blow the cigarette sidestream smoke away from the user's nostrils and scalp pores, and can also accelerate the airflow around the burning cone, thereby reducing the harmful substances such as tar, CO, NOx in the mainstream smoke. (2) The mouth suction branch smoke or the nose suction branch smoke is a branch of the mainstream smoke of each cigarette. (3) The six filter units in the gas distribution device composition contain a plurality of adsorbent materials, which can selectively intercept the harmful substances in the smoke by physical adsorption and chemical reaction, and the specific interception is:
[0138] Cu-loaded 2+Zeolite ZSM-5 can intercept nitrosamines in flue gas. The principle is that the oxygen in the N-N=O functional group of nitrosamines with a flat structure is negatively charged by structural resonance, and is strongly attracted by the cylindrical electrostatic field formed by the movement of cations in the zeolite channel, causing the N-N=O functional group of nitrosamines to insert into the zeolite channel. In addition, Cu 2+ "induction" not only promotes the above interception, but also catalyzes the degradation of nitrosamines.
[0139] Porous alumina particles loaded with MCM-48-NH2 can intercept HCN in flue gas. The principle is that the amino group in MCM-48-NH2 can form a covalent bond with HCN.
[0140] Chitosan-Cu 2+ loaded with MCM-48-NH2 can intercept HCN in flue gas. The principle is that the amino group in MCM-48-NH2 can form a covalent bond with HCN. 2+ The lone pair of electrons in Cu
[0141] MnO-CoO loaded sepiolite and Fe(II)-EDTA loaded resin can intercept NOx in flue gas. The principle is that the metal ions in the substate can catalyze the reduction of NOx to N2; Fe 2+ in Fe(II)-EDTA can complex NOx.
[0142] Chitosan and EDTA can intercept heavy metal ions in flue gas. The principle is that the amino and hydroxyl groups in the chitosan molecule can complex heavy metal ions; the two nitrogen atoms and four hydroxyl oxygen atoms on the carboxyl groups in the EDTA molecule can complex heavy metal ions, especially in the liquid phase, which can completely intercept heavy metal ions.
[0143] Cu + -NaY molecular sieve and porous ceramic microspheres loaded with Ni 2+ -MOFs can intercept CO in flue gas. The principle is that Cu + or Ni 2+ can form metal carbonyl complexes with CO, which belong to π-bond complex adsorption.
[0144] Basic carriers can intercept acidic harmful substances such as HCN in flue gas. The principle is that the acid-base neutralization reaction.
[0145] A suspension of β-cyclodextrin can intercept tar, nitrosamines and carbonyl compounds in flue gas. The principle is that the glucose hydroxyl groups on the surface of β-cyclodextrin bind tar, nitrosamines and carbonyl compounds by hydrogen bonds.
[0146] The activated carbon loaded with iron porphyrin can intercept benzopyrene, CO, HCN, NOx, nitrosamine, carbonyl compound and tar in the smoke. The principle is that the molecule of porphyrin compound has rigid structure and large surface, and can have strong π-π interaction with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon such as benzopyrene. The iron ion in the iron porphyrin can form complex with the coordination group of CO, NOx, CN - and the like.
[0147] The antioxidants such as tea polyphenol, carnosol, vitamin E and selenium-rich yeast can remove free radicals in the smoke. The principle is that the antioxidants neutralize the lone pair of electrons in the free radicals with electrons to make them lose activity; the selenium element has aggregation effect on the free radicals and forms selenium-addition free radicals which decay easily, thus shortening the survival time of the free radicals. In addition, the free radicals in the smoke pass through the gas separation device, and the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch are tortuous, thus prolonging the time for the free radicals to reach the mouth and nose, and also making part of the free radicals self-quench.
[0148] The filter unit not only can intercept the harmful substances in the smoke, but also can release the additional intake substances which are pre-adsorbed or adsorbed on site. The principle is that (1) the airflow of the mouth suction member promotes the desorption of the additional intake substances; (2) the adsorption heat generated when the filter unit adsorbs the harmful substances in the smoke promotes the desorption of the additional intake substances; (3) the filter unit adsorbs the additional intake substances mainly by intermolecular force, and the adsorption force is usually smaller than the chemical bond force when the filter unit selectively adsorbs the harmful substances in the smoke, so the adsorption sites in the filter unit will be gradually occupied by the harmful substances in the smoke, causing the desorption of the additional intake substances. The desorbed additional intake substances not only can compensate for part of the nicotine and aroma substances lost due to the adsorption of the filter unit, but also can increase other substances which are lacking in the smoke.
[0149] In Example 5, the acetate fiber loaded with iron porphyrin and β-cyclodextrin in the third filter unit not only can intercept the harmful substances in the smoke, but also can release the pre-adsorbed additional intake substances. For example, menthol, nicotine, arecoline, caffeine, rosemary, momordica grosvenori extract, linalool, and the volatile substances of lily essential oil, pear extract and pipa extract which are beneficial to the lungs are released into the mouth suction branch smoke. The suspension of β-cyclodextrin in the fifth filter unit can release the on-site adsorbed tobacco essence, nicotine and clove into the nose suction branch smoke. The porous filter core in the sixth filter unit can release the volatile substances of tobacco extract, passion fruit extract, rose essential oil, lavender essential oil, jasmine flower essential oil and osmanthus essential oil which are beneficial to the nose into the nose suction branch smoke.
[0150] In Example 1, the ratio of gaseous substances released by the medical nebulizer in the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch is about 1:1. In Example 5, although the second filtering unit similar to the structure of the hookah increases the airflow resistance of the mouth suction branch, the suction airflow at the end of the mouth suction branch still makes more cigarette smoke enter the user's oral cavity from the mouth suction branch. According to the data of Example 5, the distribution ratio of cigarette mainstream smoke in the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch is about 85:15.
[0151] In Example 2, only a Tesla valve is arranged in the nose suction branch, in Example 3, a baffle is arranged in the air connection section, and in Example 4, a fan is arranged in the air connection section. These three methods can increase the proportion of gaseous substances released by the mouth suction piece entering the nose suction branch and reduce the proportion entering the mouth suction branch, which is beneficial to improving the nicotine satisfaction efficiency of HNB electronic cigarettes, CBD electronic cigarettes and vapor electronic cigarettes, and reducing harmful substances in smoke entering the lungs.
[0152] In Example 5, the fan airflow blows the cigarette sidestream smoke away, not only improving the air flow around the cigarette burning cone and reducing harmful substances such as CO and NOx in the cigarette mainstream smoke, but also reducing the harm of sidestream smoke to users. The nose suction branch smoke is only about 15% of the cigarette mainstream smoke, and the reduction of the main harmful substances in the sidestream smoke is 93.38%-99.23%. Therefore, in addition to releasing the nose suction branch smoke beside the nostrils, users can also directly inhale the nose suction branch smoke through the nose suction cover or inserting into the nostrils, and the hair in the nostrils and the nasal mucosa can also continue to filter the harmful substances in the smoke entering the nostrils through the nose suction branch.
[0153] The gas distribution device and the composition containing the same can also compensate for the nicotine adsorbed by the filtering unit. For example, in Example 4, the filtering unit pre-adsorbs nicotine, so that the total amount of nicotine in the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch per puff increases by 5.56% compared with Example 4. In Example 5, the nicotine in the mouth suction branch per puff increases by 25% compared with Example 5, although the nicotine in the nose suction branch smoke per cigarette is reduced by 84.49% compared with the sidestream smoke of the cigarette, but the adsorption unit in the nose suction branch can also release the pre-adsorbed nicotine to the user's nasal cavity.
[0154] In the above embodiments, the main components of the gas distribution device are: the gas connection section connected to the mouthpiece, the mouth suction branch and the nose suction branch, and at least one Tesla valve is arranged in the gas distribution device. The objects combined with the gas distribution device are: the nose suction cover, the filter material, the color developing agent, the additional intake object, the air permeable tube plug, the cylinder provided with the air inlet hole and the air outlet hole, the battery, the fan, the cigarette, the match, the cigarette butt bin, etc. In addition, the composition containing the gas distribution device can also include other objects that can improve the user's smoking experience, dopamine secretion or convenience, including but not limited to: display, heating device, music, 40 Hz gamma wave or flashing stimulation, whistle, lighter, flashlight, breath freshener, etc. After appropriately enlarging the cylinder cavity space, these objects can be placed in the composition of the gas distribution device.
[0155] In addition, the end of the nose suction branch and the mouth suction branch can also be made of antibacterial material or hydrophobic coating, etc.
[0156] In addition, the gas distribution device and the composition containing the gas distribution device can also be partially or entirely in other shapes. For example: when combined with a medical atomizer, cartoon, animal, plant, etc. shapes can improve the fun of use for children patients; when combined with tobacco and electronic cigarettes, etc. mouthpiece, the trademark or harm reduction logo, etc. shape can improve the publicity.
