| The smokes are made with tobacco specially processed to reduce nitrosamines, among the most abundant and powerful toxin in cigarettes. |
| When they are mixed with products containing nitrates, carcinogenic nitrosamines can be formed. |
| In the presence of amines and amino derivatives, this chemical can form nitrosamines that are known cancer-causers. |
| Volatile nitrosamines can be selectively reduced from mainstream smoke by passage through a plasticised cellulose acetate filter tip. |
| Vitamin C is an antioxidant, and it also inhibits the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines from dietary amines and nitrites. |
| It may react with chemicals in food or in the stomach to form tiny amounts of cancer-causing nitrosamines. |
