Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to the inclusion of additives in a filter element comprising a non-woven sheet material or paper as the filter material to increase the selective removal of semi-volatile compounds and to improve the taste characteristics of the smoke drawn through the filter element. The increased selective removal of semi-volatile compounds from the smoke being drawn through the filter element is provided by polyethylene glycol. TEC and/or triacetin are additives which have been found to improve the taste characteristics of smoke drawn through the filter element.
