Effect of magnesium hydroxide as cigarette paper filler to reduce cigarette smoke toxicity

Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts, 1996
The use of magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) was proposed as a filler to replace part of the calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ) in cigarette paper and reduce the toxicity of the smoke from cigarettes. Physical property changes and smoke reducing ability of this possible substitution were effectively studied.

Tackling the "filter fraud": a call for policy action to address environmental and health harms caused by cigarette filters

Since the near universal adoption of filter-tipped cigarettes in the 1950-60s, followed by ventilated filters (i.e., “light” cigarettes) in the 1970s, tobacco companies have falsely promoted filtered cigarettes as less harmful for consumers than ...

Elucidating the Role Genotoxic Susceptibility Plays in Pulmonary Diseases of the Mouse and Human [PDF]

, 2013
Assessing the ability of diseases states and/or toxicants to cause genomic perturbations is an underpinning of science that should never be overlooked. In human and murine disease models genomic changes that occur many times exacerbate diseases and cause
