Abstract:

Possibility of the decrease of the harmful gaseous compounds in the tobacco smoke under the effectof non-thermal plasma of DC corona discharge of both polarities were investigated. The changes ofthe gas composition in time were monitored and the by-products identified. The main end-product isnicotine amid acid, which sediments on the electrode, and gaseous by-product namely propyleneand methanol.
