[Prior Art] Recent trends in cigarette consumption indicate that products with a light taste, low amounts of nicotine and tar, and a mild feel are preferred. In order to meet such consumer demands, various improvements have been made to cellulose acetate filters and paper filters that are currently widely used. A simple example is one that attempts to increase the filtration rate of nicotine◆cool by making the length of the filter longer than conventional products. Furthermore, in the case of cellulose acetate filters, measures have been taken to increase the filtration rate of nicotine tar by making the fibers finer in denier and by developing threads with various irregular cross-sections.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As the debate on smoking and health issues increases, it is expected that the aforementioned trend toward milder smoking will continue, but uniformly filtering nicotine tar as in the past would result in poor smoke quality. There is a problem that the smoke volume cannot be satisfied. In order to achieve a satisfactory smoking taste and smoke volume, it is necessary to control the ratio of the amount of nicotine to the amount of tar in the smoke (hereinafter referred to as N/T) to a desired value. N/T in smoke can be adjusted by changing the composition of tobacco leaves or using tobacco substitutes. However, these methods have problems.

It is generally preferable to manufacture the filter structure in the form of a dual structure or a triple structure in order to prevent glucose from flowing into the oral cavity during cigarette smoking. When used in a dual structure, one part of the filter is sprinkled with glucose powder or added with an aqueous glucose solution by impregnation or spraying, and the other part is connected to a part that does not contain glucose.

The amount of glucose added varies depending on the tobacco leaf composition and filter material, but per tobacco smoke filter,
10 to 100% by weight (ratio of glucose weight to weight of filter material) is preferred. If the amount of glucose added is less than 10% by weight, the nicotine removal effect will be too small, while if it exceeds 100% by weight, the feeling of smoke volume during smoking will be significantly reduced, which is not preferable.
