Tobacco Company Spins Wheels with New Prototypes

June 16th, 2009 by Rick

British American Tobacco company logo - should be a pot leaf.

According to Join Together, British American Tobacco (BAT) has developed prototypes of cigarettes with different filters and tobacco that burns less toxic smoke, by treating it with special enzymes.

That’s actually scary that they could place enzymes into a cigarette that changes it’s properties… makes you wonder what else they could add. Apparently a shitload of ingredients because it’s already been done.

200 very lucky people in Hamburg, Germany will get the chance to try these bad boys while they are exposed to various scientific tests measure their biological reactions as well as to ascertain if they will consume less toxins with these prototypes.

Editor’s note: I doubt reinventing the way a cigarette burns and changing a filter will reduce the toxins. The key to reducing the toxins is eliminating the sheer number of chemical additives that are in a cigarettes that become toxic when they burn And why is it that cigarettes are the only product that exists that doesn’t list ingredients? Perhaps it’s just the reality of Big Tobacco.
