Abstract:
PURPOSE: To provide a smoking article composed of specified constitution and having the appearance and feeling of a cigarette for efficiently heating a flavor imparting aerosol radioactive material by heat gas and radiation generated by the air passing through a carbonaceous heat source. CONSTITUTION: On an end on an opposite side for communicating fluid with the mouthpiece end of this smoking article, an active element 11 composed of a non-combustible cylindrical hollow sleeve 22, a heat source 20 provided with a fluid passage 206, a flavor floor 21 and a spacer means 101 for supporting the flavor floor 21 is provided. At the time, the heat source 20 is provided on the end on the opposite side of the mouthpiece end inside the sleeve 22 and the flavor floor 21 is supported by the spacer means 101 with an interval from the heat source 20 in the inside on a mouthpiece end side. Further, the part adjacent to the heat source 20 of the sleeve 22 is made air permeable so as to support the combustion of the heat source and at least a part is made of metal. Also, the part adjacent to the flavor floor 21 of the sleeve 22 is made air non-permeable so as to prevent the combustion of a material in the flavor floor 21.
Abstract:
A cigarette (30) includes an ignition element (36) in contact with tobacco (40, 42), surrounded by a composite outer wrapper (38). The outer wrapper (38) is impervious to oxygen causing the tobacco (40, 42) to extinguish between puffs. The ignition element (36), however, has a longer static burn time than the tobacco (40, 42) and remains smoldering between puffs. Upon a subsequent puff, the smoldering ignition element (36) reignites the tobacco (40, 42). One or more initially occluded perforations (34) in the outer layer (38) maintain the uniformity in combustion of the tobacco (40, 42) and the ignition element (36).
Abstract:
A cigarette (21a) of an electrical smoking system includes a filter tipping (33a) including a web (25) including added filtering material and a tubular wrapper (27) around the web, and a tobacco rod portion (43) adapted to generate a puff of smoke upon being heated by one or more io heating elements during smoking, the tobacco rod portion being attached to the filter tipping.
Abstract:
An electrical smoking system (20) comprises a tobacco mass (24) which is heated to a temperature of about 150°C to about 220°C to release flavorful tobacco volatiles, which are entrained in air (26) passing through the tobacco mass and condensed to form an inhalable aerosol (32). The tobacco mass may have a rotationally symmetric shape, with at least part of its surface in heat transfer relationship with a heater (22). The heater may be an external shell, an internal rod, or a plate. A mouthpiece (60), with or without a filter, may be arranged in fluid communication with the tobacco mass to direct the aerosol from the system.

Abstract:
A tobacco mass is heated to a temperature of about 150° to about 220° C. to release flavorful tobacco volatiles, which are entrained in air passing through the tobacco mass, and condensed to form an inhalable aerosol. The tobacco mass may have a rotationally symmetric shape, with at least part of its surface in heat transfer relationship with a heater. The heater may be an external shell, an internal rod, or a plate. A shell can enclose the heater and tobacco mass and define a preheating chamber for inflowing air. A mouthpiece, with or without a filter, may be arranged in fluid communication with the tobacco mass to direct the aerosol from the heating system.
Abstract:
SMOKING ARTICLE A smoking article in which a flavored aerosol is generated by heat transfer to a flavor bed from the combustion of a carbon heat source is provided. The article generates substantially no sidestream smoke. The transfer of heat from the heat source to the flavor bed is accomplished by convective and radiative heat transfer.
Abstract:
A smoking article (300) in which a flavored aerosol is generated by heat transfer to a flavor bed (221) from the combustion of a heat source (220) is provided. The article generates substantially no sidestream smoke. The transfer of heat from the heat source to the flavour bed is accomplished by convective and radiative heat transfer and is assisted by a hollow sleeve (222) surrounding the heat source.
