Studying factors affecting yields of toxic compounds in smoke of products made of smoking fine cut tobacco

Бесплатный доступ

Currently, the Russian market offers a wide range of smoking tobacco products. Cigarettes are in greatest demand. However, for many reasons, including high selling prices due to rising excise taxes, and dissatisfaction with taste characteristics, cigarette consumption is declining. There is a partial transition of consumers to other types of products, with fine-cut smoking tobacco being an alternative and obvious choice. From fine-cut smoking tobacco, consumers independently make products (roll-your-own cigarettes) of the Roll Your Own (RYO) type without a filter, wrapping a portion of tobacco with special paper manually, combining different types of tobacco, using different papers, changing the mass of tobacco and the diameter of the product, creating a product that meets taste preferences. Considering that nicotine and tar carry a toxic load for the body of consumers, it is relevant to study the content of smoke components of fine-cut smoking tobacco products (rolled tobacco), which may depend on many factors (weight of the product, diameter of the product, properties of tobacco, properties of paper). In present article technological properties of different tobacco sorts: Virginia Gold, Burley, Immuniy 580 and tobacco blend made of these sorts were examined. Composition of papers for hand made cigarettes and their air permeability were analyzed. Effect of products’ constructive properties on contents of toxic compounds in the smoke (tar, nicotine) was studied. Correlation between cigarette paper air permeability and chemical composition of the smoke was experimentally found. Utilization paper with low air permeability increases nicotine and tar content in the smoke of final product. Increasing diameter and mass of the product also leads to increasing of tar and nicotine content.
