A vaporizer comprising a mouth piece the mouth piece being in fluid connection with a vaporizing section, wherein the vaporizing section comprises at least a first vaporizable substance and a heater to heat the vaporizable substance. According to the invention the vaporizer comprises a substance cartridge comprising the at least one vaporizable substance, wherein the vaporizable substance is provided as a substance section on or as a tape, and the substance section is arranged movable in a predefined transport direction in the substance cartridge.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes a source of aerosol-generating material and/or a cavity for receiving a source of aerosol generating material, and a downstream section, the downstream section including a capsule at a location between about 28 mm and about 38 mm from a distal end of the source of aerosol-generating material and/or said cavity. There is also described a non-combustible aerosol provision system including the article.

A method for preparing a tar extract from a discarded cigarette butt and use of the tar extract in a cigarette includes the following steps: (1) adding the discarded cigarette butt to an extraction solvent, and carrying out microwave-assisted extraction to obtain an extraction solution; and (2) centrifuging the extraction solution, carrying out silica gel column chromatography on the supernatant, carrying out elution by using a petroleum ether-ethyl acetate mixed solution as a mobile phase, and collecting the resulting elution fraction to obtain the tar extract. In the method, the tar is extracted from the discarded cigarette butt as a raw material. Through the microwave-assisted extraction and separation by the silica gel column chromatography, harmful substances in the tar of the cigarette butt are removed, and the components with aroma characteristics are retained, and the tar extract is applied to a low-end cigarette.

The invention provides a process for treating tobacco material comprising: securing tobacco starting material within a sealed reactor preventing the ingress or exit of any gas or liquid; heating the tobacco material to a temperature of from about 60° C. to about 200° C. for a period of from about 6 hours to about 120 hours; allowing the temperature of the tobacco material to cool down to about room temperature whilst secured within the sealed reactor; and removing treated tobacco material from the sealed reactor. It also provides tobacco material treated by the process, extracts from said tobacco material, and to products including the treated tobacco material or extracts.
