The alcohol has two or more carbon atoms and is capable when the vapor thereof is inhaled by the smoker of inhibiting the selective localization of nitrosamines and metabolites thereof in the smoker's tissues, such as those of the bronchial epithelium. The alcohol is associated with the smoking tobacco (28) such that, when the tobacco (28) is smoked, the vapors of the alcohol are inhaled in the tobacco smoke stream. The alcohol (20) is present in an amount sufficient to inhibit the selective localization but not to produce any toxic side effects in the smoker.</p> |
