The present invention provides a rolling device and method for forming a natural leaf smoking product comprising the steps of providing a diospyros melanoxylon leaf body, which may be a recycled reconstituted diospyros melanoxylon paper, acting as a binder material, having an inner body surface with pubescent straight trichomes disposed thereon; providing a hemp component acting as a filler material; disposing the diospyros melanoxylon leaf body in an operative configuration with the outer body surface on a support surface and the inner body surface facing upwardly for receiving the hemp component; applying the hemp component over the pubescent straight trichomes; and wrapping the diospyros melanoxylon leaf body, which may be a recycled reconstituted diospyros melanoxylon paper, around the hemp component to form an encased smoking product.

A micro-vaporizer has an annular main body, a vaporization chamber, and a liquid delivery arrangement. The liquid delivery arrangement is configured for sequential delivery of a plurality of vaporizable liquids to the vaporization chamber. The liquid delivery arrangement has an annular wick having an internal wick surface defining at least a portion of the vaporization chamber. The liquid delivery arrangement also comprises a liquid reservoir surrounding the wick. The liquid reservoir is configured for storage of at least one vaporizable liquid therein and is in fluid communication with the wick. A heating element is positioned within the vaporization chamber for heating and vaporizing vaporizable liquid at or near the internal wick surface.

A sheet-type aerosol generating article includes at least two aerosol generating sheets each having aerosol generating material and an inductively heatable susceptor The inductively heatable susceptor is positioned between the aerosol generating sheets and each of the aerosol generating sheets has an exposed surface. Methods for manufacturing sheet-type aerosol generating articles are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to an elongated smoking article (100) (100) that extends in a longitudinal direction (L) and comprises a cylindrical smoking body (10) with a combustible material (11) that is surrounded by a wrapping paper (12). The smoking article (100) further comprises a filter element (20) that is configured to reduce substances from combustion gases drawn through the filter element (20) from the burning smoking body (10). A first base area of the filter element faces a base area of the smoking body (10) and a second base area (26) is an open base area. A tipping paper (30) is circumscribing the smoking body (10) and the filter element (20) and is attached to external surfaces (13, 21) of the smoking body (10 and the filter element (20). According to the invention, a flavoring (80) is disposed in or on the tipping paper (30) spaced apart from the second base (26) area in the longitudinal direction and with a distribution that varies in a longitudinal direction (L) of the tipping paper (30), such that the amount and/or type of flavoring (80) contacting a smoker's lips (90) depends on a translational state of the elongated smoking article (100) with respect to the longitudinal direction (L).

Plant metabolism and alkaloid levels can be regulated by transcription factors that regulate the nicotinic alkaloid biosynthetic pathway. In one embodiment, the disclosure provides a transcription factor that negatively regulates alkaloid biosynthesis, such as nicotine biosynthesis.

A device for burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include an truncated conical member formed from a material having an internal elongated cavity extending from an open end to a closed end. The elongated cavity can be configured to receive a smoking material. The smoking accessory can include a filter disposed within the truncated conical member and defining the closed end. The filter can have a recess formed in a surface of the body along a curved face extending from the first end to the second end, the recess extending radially into the body. The smoking accessory can include a capsule containing a flavoring agent disposed within the recess.

An aerosol delivery system includes an inductive heating device and an aerosol-forming article. The aerosol-forming article includes a plurality of aerosol-forming segments and at least two different susceptors. The inductive heating device includes a device housing including a cavity to accommodate at least a portion of the aerosol-forming article including the plurality of aerosol-forming segments, a coil arranged to surround the cavity, an electrical power source, and a power supply electronics connected to the electrical power source and to the coil. The power supply electronics supplies an alternating current to the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field having magnetic field strength and a frequency to, in at least one aerosol-forming segment, generate a thermal power which is greater than the rate of heat loss of this aerosol-forming segment.

Methods of forming pyrazines from reactants derived from a plant of the Nicotiana species, including receiving an aqueous reactant solution including at least one tobacco-derived cellulosic sugar and at least one tobacco-derived amino acid, heating the reactant solution to a reactant temperature and holding the reactant solution at the reactant temperature for a reactant time to produce a reactant product including at least one tobacco-derived pyrazine, and isolating the at least one tobacco-derived pyrazine from the reactant product. Tobacco products incorporating the tobacco-derived pyrazines are also provided.

The invention relates to a TRPM8 modulator for achieving a cooling effect on the skin or a mucous membrane.
