HIGHLIGHTS

• The documents prove the tobacco industry has attempted to replicate waterpipe technology • Industry continues to attempt to design perceived as safer • The tobacco industry has a pattern of resurrecting products that have failed in the marketplace

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT

Keywords: Introduction: The use of waterpipe (also known as hookah) increased between 2011 and 2016 in the US and Hookah globally, especially among youth and young adults. The aim of this study is to examine the tobacco industry's e-hookah interest, involvement and role in proliferating waterpipe-like products and its technology. Electronic hookah Methods: We searched the University of California San Francisco Truth Tobacco Industry Documents beginning Waterpipe with the search terms “hookah’, ‘waterpipe’, ‘narghile’, ‘shisha’, ‘hooka’, ‘e-hookah’, ‘electronic hookah’, ‘water Tobacco filtration’, and ‘hubble-bubble’ and then expanded the search using snowball sampling. Over 1500 documents Tobacco industry were reviewed, and 39 were included in this analysis. Results: This review focuses on several companies' addition of water to the filter of one cigarette holder andto two cigarettes in an attempt to make these products seem safer. In 1954, the Aquafilter Corporation created and patented a filtered cigarette holder named Aquafilter, which the documents reveal was closely monitoredby multiple tobacco companies. In 1965, the American Tobacco Company developed the Waterford cigarette. In 1987, patented the Rivage cigarette. Waterford and Rivage were very similar products that contained crushable water capsules designed to “wet” the cigarettes' filter. Conclusion: Companies have been attempting to incorporate the water filtrating aspect of waterpipe into ci- garette products. Ultimately, several tobacco companies adapted the technology from these devices to create cigarettes with crushable flavor capsules. Given the tobacco industry's history of resurrecting products, the industry may attempt to incorporate water filtration and other aspects of waterpipe into future products to attempt to make them appear safer.

Aquafilter, although not developed by a major tobacco corporation, was the first waterpipe-inspired pro- duct, and the documents reveal that the product was closely monitored by several tobacco companies. These products were marketed as im- proving the safety of cigarettes or providing safer alternatives to tra- ditional cigarettes.

3.1. Aquafilter

The first waterpipe-inspired cigarette product discussed inthe documents is the Aquafilter, a filtered cigarette holder developed bythe Aquafilter Corporation in the 1950's that contained water and was marketed as a reduced nicotine waterpipe-inspired product. Although not designed by a tobacco company, British American Tobacco (BAT), Lorillard, and ATCo closely monitored the device. A 1959 patent titled “Holders and Filters for ” [Fig. 1](Merwin & Seeleg, 1954), authored by the inventor Merwin Gerard, describes the device's components as: …a filter material consisting of a mixture of water-absorbent fibers and non-water-absorbent fibers substantially saturated with water is effective in reducing the nicotine passing to the smokers mouth well below the safe value of 0.65 mg per cigarette. An exceedingly large percentage of the nicotine in the smoke is removed upon its contact with the water absorbed and present in the filter. (Merwin & Seeleg, 1954) An Aquafilter ad in the September 1955 issue of Medical Economics magazine (Lorillard Collection) (Aquafilter, Medical Economics, 1955; Unknown, 1955) claimed that the “Aquafilter is the only filter which uses water to wash and cool cigarette smoke…adapting the Oriental ‘hookah’ to modern smoking” (Aquafilter, Medical Economics, 1955) and that “Aquafilter and only Aquafilter … removes up to 92% ofni- cotine; 74% of tars from any cigarette plain or filter tip, keeps oral mucus cool and moist, and thus enhances the taste of tobacco, protects both fingers and teeth from messy, unsightly tobacco stain.” (Aquafilter, Medical Economics, 1955) Similarly, an April 1961 Aquafilter advertisement titled “Is There A Fig. 1. Diagram of Aquafilter from 1959 U.S. Patent (Merwin & Seeleg, 1954). Safe Way To Smoke?” (ATCo collection) highlighted water as the key to Aquafilter's (supposed) reduced harm and once again compared the device to a waterpipe: tarry stains on your fingers…a dangerous substance that would otherwise have coated your lungs Water (suspended in AQUAFILTER in a cartridge of patented fibers) is Aquafilter Pacific Corporation, 1961. the most effective filtering agent for tobacco smoke known to science.

In 1964, the H-2-O filter corporation, a subsidiary of Plantation Tobacco Company, had patented a “water- filter cigarette constructed as to withdraw the nicotine from thesmoke thereof” (Plantation Tobacco et al., n.d.). In 1967, Daniel Kane, legal counsel for BAT, contacted the company about potential similarities between H-2-O's device and Waterford cigarettes (International Service Corporation, 1967). A letter from the International Service Corporation (a legal firm specializing in patents and trademarks) to Mr. Kane documents his call to M. Russel Dock, who controlled H-2-O corpora- tion at the time and claimed there was no similarity between the H-2-O filter and Waterford, which according to him, “has no water.” Inan- other letter from Mr. Dock to BAT, Mr. Dock reported that the company “will not have anything to do with American Tobacco Co. under any circumstances” Unknown, 1968. Although several tobacco companies discussed the H-2-O filter as potential competition for similar products they were developing at the time (Plantation Tobacco et al., n.d.; Green, 1968; Unknown, 1967) we were unable to locate any further mention of the H-2-O filter in the documents. In 1984, Waterford was discontinued due to poor performance and lack of profits (Unknown, 1985).

3.3. Rivage Cigarettes

Twenty-two years after ATCo patented the Waterford cigarette, in 1987, Japan Tobacco (JT) patented Rivage (Tamaoki, n.d.) the second cigarette that attempted to mimic waterpipe technology Unknown, 1988. The patent, titled “Easily breakable plastic capsule and a water filter for a cigarette using the same,” describes a water filter foraci- garette made up of “a flexible casing in the form of a tube open atboth ends, one end of the casing serving as a socket for a cigarette and the other end serving as a mouthpiece; at least one filter member for the cigarette contained in the casing and capable of being impregnated with liquid; an easily breakable plastic capsule disposed in close vici- nity to the filter members in the casing; and guide means for guiding a flow of smoke from the cigarette into the casing… the cylindrical body having a packed chamber… being sealable after being packed with the liquid composed mainly of water… thin enough to be broken when the body is subjected to external force applied through the casing” Fig. 2.
