    Abstract: A novel photonic-electronic smoking system (21) comprising a cigarette (23) and a photonic operated electronic lighter (25), together with methodologies of smoking a cigarette, the lighter comprising a receptacle (27) for removably receiving a cigarette; a photonic source (96); an optical train establishing a plurality of optical pathways from said photonic source to a plurality of locations at the received cigarette; a source of electrical power (35A); a puff sensor (49) responsive to a drawing action upon a cigarette received by said receptacle; and a controller (41) responsive to said puff sensor for controllably communicating said source of electrical power with said photonic source so that upon drawing action upon the received cigarette, the photonic source discharges along said optical pathway to heat a region (110) of said cigarette adjacent at least one of said locations.

    Abstract: A cylindrical tube is provided of a mechanically strong and flexible electrical conductor such as a metal and has a plurality of separated regions. An electrically insulating layer such as a ceramic is applied on the outer surface except for one exposed portion. Electrically resistive heaters are then applied to the insulated regions and are electrically connected at one end to the underlying electrical conducting region. The electrical conductor is connected to the negative terminal of a power source. The other end of all the heaters are adapted to be connected to the positive terminal of the source. Accordingly, an electrically resistive heating circuit is formed wherein the tube serves as a common for all of the heating elements. The tubular heater can comprise an exposed end hub with a plurality of blades extending therefrom. Each blade can have an individual heater deposited thereon. Alternatively, every other blade can have a heater deposited thereon. The blades having no heater function as barriers to minimize outward escape of generated vapors. These barrier blades also function as heat sinks for the heaters on adjacent blades.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for releasing flavor components from a flavor-generating medium using an electric heating element are provided. A non-combustion flavor-generating article (10) uses electrical energy to power a heating element (14) which heats tobacco or other flavorants (12) in a flavor generating medium. The flavor-generating medium is formed into a packed bed. Energy delivered to the heating element is regulated to maintain the flavor- generating medium at a relatively constant operating temperature to ensure a relatively constant release of flavor and to ensure that release of flavor components is due to heating, rather than burning of the flavor generating medium.
