雷诺兹公司将从1988年10月1日起在密苏里州的圣路易斯和亚利桑那州的芬尼克斯和图克森试销它的一种几乎不冒烟的新香烟。这种新香烟取名为“总理”牌(Premier),它可象普遍香烟一样点着,但此后香烟并不燃起来,而是由烟嘴上的一根碳加热棒加热烟草和添加剂。积极鼓吹禁烟的活动分子坚持认为这种新香烟不是烟草制品,而不过是把尼古丁麻醉 Reynolds will test its new cigarettes, which emit almost no smoke, from St. Louis, Missouri, and Phoenix and Tukson, Arizona, on October 1, 1988. The new cigarette is called the “Premier” (Premier). It can be lit as a general cigarette, but cigarettes do not ignite afterwards. Instead, a carbon heating rod on the cigarette holder heats tobacco and additives. Activists aggressively advocating smoking bans insist that this new cigarette is not a tobacco product, but rather an anesthetic for nicotine
