    How can cigarettes reduce the harm?

    ??Modern people will definitely say that they are filter cigarettes without even thinking about it.

    But many people don¡¯t know that the cigarette filter was actually invented later than imagined.

    ??At first, corn cobs were used, but where can Liu Mingqi find this high-yielding artifact now?  Corn is much more important than corn cobs!

    Then the cigarette filter was invented in the 1920s, and it was a full forty years later, in the 1960s, that the common "acetate filter" that we have now appeared.

    Of course, there are some developments later, such as kdf2-acetate filter, or the polypropylene filter that has been used in our country. They are all filters with different materials and similar properties and effects.

    With the current level of craftsmanship in the Kang Dynasty, all this is just a dream.

    So Liu Mingqi chose another method of filtering harmful substances that has been used since the 18th century - adding a substantial filter.

    It¡¯s the kind we see on TV. In Shanghai in the 1920s and 1930s, the mothers in dance halls and flower houses often had it in their mouths.

    To put it simply, it is to add a cigarette holder made of wood, jade, agate, etc. to the end of a cigarette without a filter.

    People do not smoke cigarettes directly, but through cigarette holders of different lengths.

    On the one hand, it can prevent your hands from being yellowed and blackened, on the other hand, it also avoids the unsightly appearance of smoking.

    Over time, many men also fell in love with this kind of cigarette holder, thus developing various models.

    Liu Mingqi has seen many cigarette holders.

    The cigarette holder he planned to make for Emperor Jinghe was a double-barreled detachable cigarette holder made of small rosewood.

    The end connected to the cigarette is longer, almost like a pen barrel, about as long as a finger.

    There are also some powdered packets such as honeysuckle, mountain beanroot, amla, mint leaves, etc. stuffed inside, so that a layer of filtration can be formed, thereby filtering out one third or more of harmful substances.

    Behind the first cigarette holder is the second cigarette holder held in the mouth. This one is slightly shorter and flatter, suitable for the entrance.

    In addition, the cigarette holder is made of wood that can absorb tar, so the combined effect is not much worse than the acetate fiber filter made of chemical materials.

    Another advantage of this double-tube detachable cigarette holder is that the cigarette holder can be replaced frequently.

    The packets of Chinese medicine must be changed every day.

    The same is true for the cigarette holder. It can be replaced after a few months.

    Sometimes you change the front one first, sometimes you change the back one, or even both at the same time.

    Liu Mingqi found a carpenter at home, and after explaining the principles to him, he quickly made a sample.

    After several debuggings by Liu Mingqi, he made several versions of the carpenter before starting to polish it.

    In one day, the carpenter made seven or eight cigarette holders of different styles and sizes.

    Liu Mingqi put all these on her back, put on her cigarettes, and went out happily.

    ¡­¡­

    Inside the Xiuyiwei Yamen, dark clouds were gathering at this moment.

    From a distance, one could hear the hoarse and violent curses coming from the governor's office room.

    ¡°I said you are scum, a bunch of trash who only know how to eat, and I was right!

    Tell me today, in the largest production area of ??seven-step snakes, there are no people buying large quantities of seven-step snakes at all?

    ??Then the poison in the mouths of these people and the things smeared on the arrows are all saliva?

    ??How can such an effect be achieved without one or two liters of seven-step snake venom?  How many seven-step snakes are needed to secrete one or two liters of venom? Do you think I am a fool for not knowing?

    roll!  Get out of here!  I want all these captains and commanders to come back to me. I want to see what they have been doing all these years.  Do you just eat shit all day long?  "

    After a while, seven or eight people walked out of the room.

    They are all captains and commanders in Beijing.

    Normally, everyone walks with their heads held high, but now they are like chickens that have been castrated, walking without energy.

    When they saw Liu Mingqi, the faces of this group of people were very complicated.

    I felt guilty, gritted my teeth, and felt a little bit unwilling.

    Liu Mingqi smiled and said nothing.

    After all, it¡¯s your job??

    When a smoker is greedy for cigarettes, he has no dignity!

    Gao Jing is not yet addicted to cigarettes, but in order to cope with the recent hardship and irritability, he has become very dependent on cigarettes, so much so that he does not feel any disgust when hearing such words.

    Liu Mingqi reminded him: "Your Majesty also wants to smoke, and he will be gone in a while. If you look for him like this, aren't you also sharing your Majesty's worries?"

    Gao Jing¡¯s eyes lit up, but he coughed reservedly: ¡°Ahem, this is a very good proposal. Your Highness, I will consider it.¡±

    The Governor is still a shameless person. Although he has already accepted Liu Mingqi's excuse in his heart, he is embarrassed to say it in person.

    Looking at the cigarette holder that Liu Mingqi left when he left, thinking that he only had five packs recently, Gao Jing lamented, how can he live his life like this!

    He regretted a little, regretting showing off in front of Cao Yi and letting him take a shot.

    After Cao Yi smoked cigarettes, she only asked for two packs from Liu Mingqi for the first time, but on the third day she asked for three more packs.

    After that, the three prime ministers also saw Cao Yi puffing away at Wenyuan Pavilion. Now they became interested and also asked for Liu Mingqi.

    So, it has become a situation where the four prime ministers are all holding cigarettes and smoking hard.

    If this were not the case, wouldn¡¯t all the one or two hundred bags in Liu Mingqi¡¯s hand belong to him?

    It¡¯s good now that the emperor also knows.

    Shouldn¡¯t the largest share be given to the emperor?

    You are really trapped in a cocoon!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
