The filter using technology for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke on hands, according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises: a filter unit for filtering tobacco smoke, the filter unit being coupled to a tobacco shred; and filter-wrapping paper for wrapping the filter unit. The filter unit or the filter-wrapping paper may contain a material for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke. According to the embodiment of the present invention, green tea extracts containing catechin or other materials for reducing the smell of tobacco smoke, e.g. citric acids, glycerols, tannic acids and the like can be added to a tobacco filter to remove the smell from tobacco smoke generated during smoking, thus significantly lowering the strength of the smell of tobacco smoke on the hands of a smoker as compared to conventional tobacco filters.

Filter and tobacco using technology for reducing smell of tobacco smoke on hands

A composition for inclusion within a cigarette, cigar, pipe or smokeless tobacco. The composition can be included within the tobacco itself, a filter for filtering tobacco smoke once burned or even within the paper or wrapper surrounding the tobacco product. In the cigarette filter, be it internal or external filters, the antioxidant complex is capable of scavenging and neutralizing the free radicals emanating from the burning or heated tobacco and passing through the filter as the smoker inhales. The composition is also capable of reducing free radical damage to the oro-pharyngeal cavity, respiratory tract and lungs resulting from tobacco smoke. The composition includes glutathione and preferably L-glutathione and green tea and/or grape seed extract.

The invention provides a one step method for micropropagation of tea plants from leaf explants via callus phase, wherein the explants are maintained in basal Murashige and Skoog medium (Murashige T. and Skoog F. A revised medium for rapid growth and bioassays with tobacco tissue cultures. Physiol. Plant. 15: 473-497; 1962) supplemented with vitamins like thiamine-HCl (0.05 to 2.0 mg/l), pyridoxine-HCl (0.25 to 1.5 mg/l) and nicotinic acid (0.25 to 1.5 mg/l) together with glycine (1.0 to 3.0 mg/l) and either 2.5, 5.0 or 7.5 mg/l 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid for a period of 14-16 weeks, from the stage of induction of callus to rhizogenesis and shoot formation.
