Cigarettes with defective filters marketed for 40 years: what Philip Morris never told smokers

Before learning of the fall-out studies of Phillip Morris,
Inc, we published the results of comprehensive tests
documenting that cellulose acetate filter fibres were released
from modern day cigarettes. Specifically, filter fibres were
released from 12 different US cigarette brands; two brands
from each of six different US companies. All cigarettes tested
were purchased from local vendors.97 98 Cellulose acetate filter
fibres were implanted in mice for six months. The fibres withstood
degradation and retained the tobacco brown colour and
bright fluorescence of the tobacco tar that had been adsorbed
from cigarette smoke. We reported also the presence of cellulose
acetate cigarette filter fibres in human lung tissue. In his
critique of this study, tobacco spokesperson Professor Dr F
Adlkofer noted that: With high probability, the fibres which
were seen by the authors in the lungs of smokers with lung
cancer are in fact cellulose acetate fibres.15

Results of studies presented in this report have been
confirmed and extended in investigations of consenting adult
smokers. The participant smoked a popular US filter cigarette
in his/her usual manner, but was instructed not to inhale the
smoke. Mouth washes of water were collected before
smoking, at different intervals during smoking, and after
smoking. The results showed that washes collected from all
subjects and for all cigarettes smoked contained cellulose
acetate cigarette filter fibres (range 225 fibres). In contrast,
mouth washes obtained before smoking had no fibres.Notable
is that most of the filter fibres harvested from the mouth were
coated with tobacco tar.

This paper discloses that Philip Morris, Inc has known
and concealed for approximately 40 years that fibres and
particles fall-out of the filter of cigarettes during smoking.
Other companies have assessed also the discharge of filter
fibres. In addressing this filter defect, the tobacco
industrys response has been variable, ranging from denial
of the discharge of filter fibres to the development of innovative
technologies for correcting and preventing the
problem. Consumers have not been informed of the filter
defect. Further, there is no indication that existing
corrective technologies and invention have been uniformly
implemented. Summarily, the tobacco industry has been:
(a) derelict in concealing information of filter defects; (b)
negligent in implementing technologies available to
prevent or reduce the emission of filter elements; and (c)
wrongful in not investigating the toxicology and harm
associated with defective filters of todays cigarettes that
are being marketed worldwide.

Mean anything to anyone here?

"Warm Glow,

Turkish delight? to add to pols.

For Delivery And then go. Swop the balloon, heat shield required. Stripes and pattern as one.

b2 done, b3 but first be very organised in purchasing.

A wise man is no fool, he sticks with what he knows."


:-s

Phart Hi,

Poster radioactiveman .... "Warm Glow"

Turkish Delight is like jelly, added to Starpol ? nah !, maybe SEO have seen a Turkish company to add to Biotec ? .... "Turkish delight? to add to pols."

Selling of the Cigarette Filter IP, and sticking with packaging .... "A wise man is no fool, he sticks with what he knows."

FDA is in caps .... "For Delivery And then go" .... that would be either Starpol 2000, or the capsules passing FDA regulations, then it's all systems go.

No idea about the rest ....

LOL !!

Truly pissing myself laughing at Mastersons ineptitude, the code is from disgraced council worker gmanhi!!!!!!!!!!! lol!

Must have another word with his admin leader boss, I know some people who pay council tax in the Southampton vicinity are peeved that he spends all day on the computer when he should be helping out taxpayers.

morning all. lovely views this morning.
pm1, while i agree with you that cig butts are a litter problem, to try to state that tobacco companies actually give a shit about the health of people is a joke. i cannot see the ip going for much, if only because one is patent pending. but, as always, nobody really knows how much the ip will go for. might as well wait until some are announced.

I think it will be the 30-50% cost saving that makes the IP so valuable Bos.

While flange(poster on FYB) may be talking nonsense PM, he constantly makes reference to the USA. Watch out for 'stars' 'stripes' etc etc in his comments.

He normally seems to manage a post within 3-4 days before a RNS announcement so watch out tomorrow perhaps....

jeez guys if the ip was worth anything they wouldn't be getting rid of it.

My bet is we'll never hear anymore about it, just another useless idea with no benefits to anyone.

ps Don't believe every word they say about cost savings, as with Greenseal their is no independant data to suggest it's cheaper than the present technology.

pps Starch would go mushy if coming in contact with saliva!


ppps What is with you lot and guru's? Captain guide and now flange(who's already been exposed as a phoney)!!!!!!!!!

DYOR

QC

Their is an rns every 3 or 4 days, thats why he manages to predict them!

lol, I suppose if you mention it often enough then the USA may come up on one RNS!

...........but we all know that there will be further announcements - cos howard White said so in his last communique.

Almost certainly we will get something over next few days, but definitely before the conference in Phili - but its anyones guess as to the content - although they must be fairly confident themselves - otherwise they would not have pre announced it.

Baza

Thanks for the (constructive) feedback guys.

Bos Hi,

You say "pm1, while i agree with you that cig butts are a litter problem, to try to state that tobacco companies actually give a shit about the health of people is a joke. i cannot see the ip going for much, if only because one is patent pending. but, as always, nobody really knows how much the ip will go for. might as well wait until some are announced."

As biscuit said, it's the cost saving that makes it worth millions, read my posts again, because I have posted that Celenese, the biggest in the world for Cellulose Acetate, are LOSING MONEY on producing it, they need that cost saving, so they can turn a profit, and if they (the biggest producer !) aren't making a profit, that means you can assume all other producers are not making any profit on it either.

shamona,

You say if the ip was worth anything they would'nt get rid of it. Everything has its price, its as simple as that.

Greekman Hi,

Sham still talking bollocks I see.

Trying to spin the facts again, when anyone reading the announcement KNOWS that the IP is being sold because Stanelco an SP Metals do not want to be involved in the tobacco/cigarette industry, and that Biotec created the products and technologies starting way back in 1998, well before Stanelco and SP Metals got involved, and now that they are involved, the direction for biotec is PACKAGING, not smoking related products.

Cheers,
PM

According to Evo they are still going to want a royalty on the patent.

I bet we never hear about the filter ever again, why was it never marketed by the previous owners?

This company is all smoke and mirrors with EVO playing their part in the whole corrupt spin, each to their own I suppose and it's not my money going down the drain.

paul, if as you stated, the ip is worth 75 million, and that this ip has been around for a few years, why didn't bats, glh or imt buy biotec for the 25million sp metals and seo paid for it?

Masterson

Since you went on about the golden cross for weeks when it happened here could you now describe in the same detail the signifigance of the death cross which is fast approaching?

I'm assuming that you do comment on some things not positive in the interests of balance and fairness, since it's going to 20 a share anyway it won't do any harm.

He reads all my posts but claims i'm filtered but to allow hin to answer without appearing to be a berk could someone cut n paste the question so he can answer please.

LOL Bosley, superb question, why didn't the previous owners sell it before seo came along as well?
