' To all 'whom z't 'may eoncem:

Be it known that I', Amm M. MILLER, a citizen of the United States, vand a resident ofthe city and county ofl San Francisco, and 5. State of' California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Nicotine- Absorbent Cigarette Holders, 'of whichthe following is a specification. The present invention relates toimprove- 10 ments 1n means for the elimination o nicotine from tobacco-smoke while on its passage fromthe, burning tobacco to the mouth of the smoker. A principal object of the present. inven- 15 tion is'to provide means -forv the absorption of nicotine from tobacco smoke while' on its passage from lthe burning tobacco to the mouth of the smoker, through a lengthened course of travel for the smoke overm and 10 throug and beneath a largely increased cooling surface, thus affording a cooled smokeroduct freed from nicotine and devoid of leterious matters.

An additional object sought is to provide for an economic use of tobacco, as it permits the consumption of the entire ent, whetherof cigarette 'or other tobacco orm. 30 Though arrangedmore particularly 'th a view to its use as a cigarette holder, `itlis quite obvious that the section adapted to hold the cigarette ma be also utilized as amagazinerdirect for t estorage of a smokecharge.

a art of this spec cation,
