Supported catalyst particles, which can be incorporated in the tobacco cut filler, cigarette wrapper and/or cigarette filter of a cigarette, are useful for low-temperature and near-ambient temperature catalysis of carbon monoxide and/or nitric oxide. The supported catalyst comprises catalyst particles that are supported on particles of an electrically conductive support selected from the group consisting of graphitic carbon and a partially reduced oxide.

1. A component of a cigarette comprising catalyst particles supported in and/or on electrically conductive support particles of a partially reduced oxide of a transition metal comprising a Magnéli phase selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mix
1. A component of a cigarette comprising catalyst particles supported in and/or on electrically conductive support particles of a partially reduced oxide of a transition metal comprising a Magnéli phase selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mixtures thereof, wherein said support particles during the smoking of a cigarette act in synergy with said catalyst particles for the catalytic combustion of carbon monoxide created during smoking. 2. The component of a cigarette of claim 1, wherein (a) said catalyst particles comprise nanoscale particles and/or said support particles comprise nanoscale particles; (b) said catalyst particles comprise a transition metal or an oxide of a transition metal; or (c) said catalyst particles comprise a noble metal or an oxide of a noble metal. 3. The component of a cigarette of claim 1, wherein the said partially reduced oxide of a transition metal comprising a Magnéli phase further comprises a dopant that is different than the transition metal. 4. The component of a cigarette of claim 3, wherein the dopant is selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mixtures thereof. 5. The component of a cigarette of claim 1, wherein the said component is selected from the group consisting of tobacco cut filler, cigarette paper and cigarette filter material. 6. The component of a cigarette of claim 1, wherein the supported catalyst particles are iron oxide particles. 7. A cigarette comprising a tobacco rod, cigarette paper and an optional filter, wherein at least one of the tobacco rod, cigarette paper and optional filter comprises supported catalyst particles capable of converting carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide, wherein the supported catalyst particles comprise catalyst particles supported in and/or on electrically conductive support particles of a partially reduced oxide of a transition metal comprising a Magnéli phase selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, zirconium, niobium, molybdenum, and mixtures thereof, wherein said support particles during the smoking said cigarette act in synergy with said catalyst particles for the catalytic combustion of carbon monoxide created during the smoking experience. 8. The cigarette of claim 7, wherein the catalyst particles additionally are capable of acting as a catalyst for the conversion of nitric oxide to nitrogen. 9. The cigarette of claim 7, wherein the catalyst particles are incorporated in the tobacco rod, cigarette paper and/or filter in an amount effective to convert at least 5% of carbon monoxide in mainstream tobacco smoke to carbon dioxide. 10. The cigarette of claim 7, wherein the catalyst particles are incorporated along the length of the tobacco rod, or the cigarette wrapper comprises a web-filler material and the supported catalyst particles are supported on the web-filler material. 11. The cigarette of claim 7, wherein the wrapper is a first wrapper and the cigarette further comprises a second wrapper radially outward from the first wrapper and/or the tobacco rod further comprises paper filler and the supported catalyst particles are supported in and/or on the paper filler. 12. The cigarette of claim 7, wherein the supported catalyst particles are incorporated in an amount effective to additionally reduce the concentration in mainstream smoke of at least one polyaromatic hydrocarbon.
