FILTER FOR A TOBACCO PRODUCT

摘要

The invention relates to a cigarette holder-type component, which is intended to be attached to a tobacco product and can be adapted to the suction head of the tobacco product so that the smoke travels through the component during smoking. The component contains porous material, into which an aqueous solution containing at least one aldehyde-binding compound has been absorbed to form an aldehyde-binding filter. In the component that is to be attached to the tobacco product, the water content of the material is kept at a level where the aldehyde-binding compounds are capable of reacting with the aldehydes in the smoke, changing them into a harmless form.
