Remember the ill-fated
BRAVO cigarettes? These
were the non-tobacco ciga-
rettes made in Hereford from
lettuce leaves. That scheme
didn't work, although the
idea had a tremendous
amount of merit. Now. Cela-
nese Corporation is market-
ing a cellulose mixture to
European cigarette makers.
The cigarette supplement is
Cytrcl and Celanese has
been working for 18 years to
develop if for commercial
application at a develop-
mental cost of SI8 million.
Cytrel and a British com-
pound. "NSM" are mixed
with tobacco in order to
reduce tar and nicotine with-
out eliminating the taste.
The usual mixture is 80
percent tobacco and 20 per-
cent supplement.
The big market for the
"false Fags", as the British
call them is England where
there are 22 million smokers
who consume 138 billion
cigarettes a year, despite a
strong government campaign
against smoking. Eventually,
all smokers everywhere will
be the target.
Courtaulds, an English
textile manufacturing giant
gave up on its attempt to
pri>duce a synthetic com-
pound because it would have
had to bet another S5 million
on top of almost S2 million
already spent to develop the
compound. It took ten years
for Courtaulds to come up
with the right formula for a
tobacco additive w hich they
later dropped.
A major portion of any
money spent to develop a
suitable tobacco substitute or
additive is the cost of testing
on rats, mice, dogs and
humans. Literally millions of
dollars are necessary to tho-
roughly document the vari-
ous tests in order to prove
that they are no cancer
producing agents. Tests with
NSM " indicate that there is
less risk of getting cancer
from the tobacco supple-
ments and substitutes than
there is from tobacco. But
millions of additional dollars
will have to be spent before
the British government ap-
pointed from Independent
Scientific Committee on
Smoking and Health will
make a final ruling on the
acceptability of the substi-
tute compounds. Without a
favorable ruling from that
.group, none of the European
(countries including Great
Britain will permit the "false
fags" to be sold.
