The present invention provides a gel aerosol-forming substrate cartridge that can be inserted into an electrically heated smoking article, the gel aerosol-forming substrate cartridge comprising: a gel aerosol-forming substrate containing glycerin and gelatin, which exists in gel form, semi-solid form, or solidified form in a first temperature range including room temperature, changes to a liquid form in a second temperature range including 70° C., and is vaporized into an aerosol in a temperature range of 150 to 400° C.; a gel receptor that receives the gel aerosol-forming substrate; and wrapping paper wrapped around the side of the gel receptor in a cylindrical shape measuring 7 to 20 mm long and 5 to 8 mm in diameter, and also provides an electrically heated smoking article comprising: a filter; the gel aerosol-forming substrate cartridge located upstream of the filter; and a tobacco filler containing shredded tobacco located upstream of the filter and located upstream or downstream of the gel aerosol-forming substrate cartridge, wherein the filter, gel aerosol-forming substrate cartridge, and tobacco filler are wrapped in wrapping paper to form a cigarette.

The present disclosure relates to an HNB consumable comprising an aerosol-forming substrate, the consumable having an axial length extending perpendicularly to a non-rectangular transverse end face. The axial length of the aerosol-forming substrate is greater than 45% of the axial length of the consumable and/or the volume of the aerosol-forming substrate is greater than 45% of the volume of the consumable.

A tobacco article may include tobacco disposed in a porous matrix. The tobacco article may provide tobacco, tobacco constituents, or both tobacco and tobacco constituents to the consumer's mouth in the form of particles, liquid, or vapor so as to provide tobacco satisfaction to the consumer. The tobacco may be integrally molded with a plastic material so that at least a portion of the tobacco is disposed in pores of the matrix.

An aerosol generating system comprising (i) an aerosol generating article comprising a flavorant, and (ii) an aerosol generating device comprising an induction heater, wherein during operation, the article is inserted into the device and an aerosol is generated by using the induction heater to heat the aerosol generating material to at least 150° C., wherein at least 1 μg of flavorant is aerosolized from the aerosol generating material under an airflow of at least 1.50 L/m during a two-second period.

A method for making a smokeless tobacco article can include combining thermoplastic polymer particles with tobacco particles to form a mixture of particles, compressing the mixture of particles within a pressing apparatus to form the mixture into a predetermined shape, separating the mixture from the pressing apparatus such that it retains the predetermined shape, and heating the mixture outside of the pressing apparatus to at least partially melt at least some of the thermoplastic polymer particles and form a matrix of polymer and tobacco particles.

Generating a printable inhalant solution may include selecting identifiers for one or more identified chemicals and creating, for each identified chemical, a chemical specification that includes at least a quantity of the chemical. The chemical specifications in the aggregate may include a chemical signature of the selected identified chemicals. Further, a printable solution may be mechanically printed onto a predetermined flammable base substrate.

Methods for encasing bodies including smokeless tobacco or a tobacco substitute with a polymeric casing can include coating a compressed body with microfibers, applying tubular casings to compressed bodies, printing netting and webs on compressed bodies, injection molding around compressed bodies, applying a webbing to compressed bodies, placing compressed bodies into a skin forming bath, and including thermoplastic polymers in a compressed body.
