<p>This invention is a process and product which uses the process for reducing tar and nicotine in cigarettes, whereby a novel emulsified complex of Sterotex/permanganate is incorporated into a cigarette (1). The complex displays a synergistic (6) reaction having a dose response relationship permitting linear adjustment to reduce more than 85 % of the tar and nicotine in the mainstream smoke of a cigarette (4). Chemical analysis of the smoke condensate demonstrates the oxidation of nicotine to nicotinic acid, a B6 vitamin.</p> |
