Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method of reducing the nicotine content of
a tobacco plant to less than addictive levels. The method includes the step of
administering to the tobacco plant an effective amount of a nicotine reducing agent
sufficient to reduce the level of nicotine in the tobacco plant so that the resulting nicotine
content in the plant is reduced to a level wherein a tobacco product produced from the
plant will yield a non-addictive level of nicotine in the central nervous system blood
plasma of the user. The present invention is further directed to tobacco plants prepared
by the method.

Abstract: In a rotary nozzle brick body formed into a substantially egg-like shape in its plan view, the present invention secures a contact area of a nozzle portion and improves a configuration factor which considerably affecting the durability of the body. 
     A rotary nozzle brick body is  characterized in that  the external shape in plan view is comprised of first circular portions (G), second circular portions (H), third circular portions (K) and tangent lines connecting the first circular portions and the third circular portions so that a substantially elliptical shape is formed by increasing the circular portions and shortening the tangent lines, instead of a substantially egg-like shape having long tangent lines. 
     Since the substantially elliptical shape is formed by reducing the linear portion of the brick body in its plan view while the shape is expanded circularly, the contact area is maintained even if the sliding plate brick is rotated up to its full-opened state, thereby eliminating a fear that molten steel or the like may leak.
