It also generates noise. The snubber in parallel is necessary and the 0.1 μF. max. mentioned previously can, sometimes, put you into relaxation oscillator territory. :>((
Just put 1 Kohm of resistance (appropriate power handling capability) per H. of I/P choke inductance in parallel with the 1st capacitor. Remember, the approx. critical current (in mA.) is given by V/L. Larger inductance = smaller critical current.
