Abstract (en)
Cigarettes having high nicotine content tobacco cut filler are rendered smooth smoking and palatable by incorporating an organic acid additive therein. For example, a cigarette having a cut filler with a blend nicotine content of greater than 2 percent has at least one organic acid additive incorporated into the cigarette in an amount of greater than 1 percent. Smooth smoking cigarettes yielding good tobacco taste and minimal off-taste are provided when the majority of the organic acid additive is levulinic acid. Alternatively, cigarettes having a salt such as nicotine levulinate incorporated therein can exhibit low FTC "tar" to nicotine ratios while providing a smooth, palatable and flavorful taste.
