Hydromagnesite-magnesium hydroxide compositions which, when used as fillers in smoking article wrappers, significantly reduce the amount of sidestream smoke produced by the burning smoking article while providing the smoking article with good subjective characteristics.

Smoking article wrapper having filler of hydromagnesite/magnesium

Hydromagnesite-magnesium hydroxide compositions are prepared which, when used as fillers in smoking article wrappers, significantly reduce the amount of sidestream smoke produced by the burning smoking article while providing the smoking article with good subjective characteristics.

Hydromagnesite/magnesium hydroxide fillers for smoking article wrappers

The invention relates to the use of co-crystalline magnesite/magnesium hydroxide compositions as fillers for smoking article wrappers. Smoking articles made with wrappers containing these compositions exhibit significantly reduced sidestream smoke and does not compromise subjective attributes.

Magnesite/magnesium hydroxide fillers for smoking article wrappers

An improved smoking article wrapper which significantly reduces sidestream smike using magnesium carbonate in the form of magnesite as a filler. Smoking articles which employ the wrappers exhibit a significant reduction in sidestream smoke without adverse effect on subjective characteristics.

Magnesite composition filler for smoking article wrapper

A wrapper for smoking articles having controllable combustion characteristics. The wrapper comprises cigarette paper and an amorphous inorganic network formed from a gel.

Wrapper for smoking articles and method for preparing same

A cigarette is provided having a variable shape, including variable length and a bendable longitudinal axis. A flexible corrugated tubing section connects a filter plug to a cigarette rod and provides both the variability of the length and the bendability of the cigarette. The variable shape mechanism can be made to additionally provide variable dilution and variable flavorant.

Filter cigarette

A filter cigarette is provided in which the smoker can select varying levels of one or more flavorants to be added to the smoke stream. A rotatable filter segment having several smoke flow paths, each containing a different flavorant material, cooperates with a baffle to select one or more paths through which the smoke stream will travel.
