See full text

A low tar cigarette product and method of use which enhances the sensory impact of low tar and low nicotine cigarettes in order to increase their acceptability and reduce the likelihood that smokers will exhibit compensatory smoking during use thereof. The novel cigarette utilizes an irritant selected from the group consisting of one or more constituents from black and/or red pepper, capsaicinoids, and mixtures of the foregoing in the tobacco thereof. Subsequent to igniting the tobacco and inhaling from the cigarette, the irritant creates respiratory tract sensations in a user substantively similar to those obtained by inhalation of tobacco smoke from a conventional cigarette.
