ABSTRACT:
An improved smoking material is provided by the treatment of a film-forming carbohydrate material with ozone such that the molecular weight of the film-forming carbohydrate material is reduced. In accordance with the present disclosure, a film-forming carbohydrate material, for example, polysaccharide is contacted, under controlled conditions, with gaseous ozone and is formed into a smoking product. During the ozone treatment, the carbohydrate material may be in particulate or other solid form or may be dissolved or dispersed in a suitable liquid medium, such as water. The ozone-treated film-forming carbohydrate material may be cast, by known methods, on a drying surface to form a solid film. The resulting film may then be cut or comminuted for use as a tobacco substitute or as a tobacco supplement in a smoking article. Such films may also be used as wrappers for smoking compositions.
