A sidestream smoke removal device and a control method thereof are provided. The sidestream smoke removal device according to some embodiments of the present disclosure may include a housing in which a smoking space is formed, an article insertion portion which is disposed at one end of the housing and forms an opening for insertion of a smoking article into the smoking space, an ignition portion which is configured to ignite the smoking article inserted into the smoking space, a sidestream smoke processing portion which is configured to process sidestream smoke generated from the smoking article inserted into the smoking space, and a heating portion disposed inside the housing to heat the smoking space. The heating portion may heat the smoking space to remove a smell generated due to by-products of smoking, and accordingly, the cleanliness of the sidestream smoke removal device can be improved.

A stand alone tobacco smoke filter or filter element for use with a smoking article comprising a wrapper engaged around a longitudinally extending core of tobacco smoke filtering material, wherein at least one end of the wrapper extends beyond the end of the core around which it is engaged, to define a cavity at the end of the filter which faces the smoking article in use.

Various structures for interfaces for a smokable element to connect to a smoke and/or tar filter, and related methods, are provided. For example, the structures and methods enable repeatably and securely connecting or interfacing a smokable element, e.g., an herbal joint, to an air filter, e.g., a smoke and/or tar filter. For instance, an interface can have a horn-shaped end with a deformable opening that receives a smokable element, creating at least a partial seal between the deformable opening of the horn-shaped end and the smokable element. Also, the other end of the interface can have a round end that attaches to an air filter.

An inhalation device to hold an inhalant-generating component to generate an inhalant to be drawn through the device and inhaled by a user. The device has a body (10) having a first open end (11b) configured to receive an inhalant-generating component and, a second open end (11a) in fluid communication with the first end through which a user may draw inhalant from the inhalant-generating component. The body is configured to receive a flavour delivery component (63) having an organoleptic material to selectively allow or prevent addition of an organoleptic additive into an inhalant stream drawn through the device. The device includes a ventilation control mechanism (15) configured to selectively allow different amounts of ambient air into the body to mix with and dilute the inhalant stream as it is drawn through the device in use.

A component for an inhalation device having a first end for connection to a body of an inhalation device and a second end. A passage extends through the component from the first end to the second end for the flow of inhalant therethrough. The first end includes a blind cavity, separate to the passage and containing an organoleptic material. Also, an inhalation device comprising a body with a first end connected to such a component of the inhalation device and, a second end configured to receive an inhalant-generating component, is disclosed. A conduit extends through the body between the first and second ends.

A tobacco smoke containment and filter device with built-in ignition for treating secondary and side stream tobacco smoke that includes a main body portion having an outer chamber and an inner chamber, a mouthpiece, and a housing unit that includes a cigarette ignition system, a fan and a filter. The main body portion includes an outer chamber connected to the housing unit. The mouthpiece has an opening therewith sized to accommodate a cigarette. The outer chamber includes a smoke exhaust member branching off from the exterior of the outer chamber. An inner chamber is positioned within the outer chamber and has a closed far end containing at least one air hole and a near end joined to the outer chamber forming an opening for the mouthpiece. The mouthpiece has a smoke control system that controls the inhalation and exhalation of smoke by the user. (printed circuit board).
