METHOD OF FIXING PERFUME FOR IMPROVING ODOR OF SECONDARY SMOKE FROM CIGARETTE AND CIGARETTE

摘要

A method of fixing a perfume for improving the odor of a secondary smoke issuing from a cigarette. The method comprises: applying to a cigarette paper a secondary-cigarette-smoke-odor improver obtained by adding an ethanol or propylene glycol solution of the perfume to an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer emulsion which has a solid content of 10 to 60 wt.% and in which the copolymer has an ethylene unit content of 30 wt.% or lower; and drying the paper to fix the perfume to the paper. The perfume solution in ethanol is added to the emulsion in an amount of 40 parts by weight or smaller in terms of ethanol amount per 100 parts by weight of the emulsion, while the perfume solution in propylene glycol is added in an amount of 11 parts by weight or smaller in terms of propylene glycol amount per 100 parts by weight of the emulsion.
