Ready-to-vape and ready-to-smoke precision pods and formulations thereof for harm reduction products particularly to assist smokers to quit tobacco products altogether or to switch to a less harmful product such as e-cigarettes or a tobacco heating product.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for forming a Cannabis product, comprising the steps of: providing a tetrahydrocannabinol concentrate, the tetrahydrocannabinol concentrate comprising: a purity of at least forty percent and a tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) viscosity in excess of 4,000 centipoise at 25° C.; combining with the tetrahydrocannabinol concentrate a second substance, the second substance comprising a second substance viscosity less than the THC viscosity to form a THC compound; heating the THC compound to greater than 40° C. to yield a THC compound viscosity of less than 1,000 centipoise; and adding the THC compound to a product substance to form a THC containing product, the THC containing product comprising a THC containing product viscosity greater than 5,000 centipoise at 25° C.

The embodiments disclose an apparatus for producing rosin core rolled smoking products, including a modular rosin core rolled smoking product apparatus assembly for automatically producing at least one rosin core rolled smoking product, at least one interchangeable packing and shaping subassembly for automatically packing and shaping user selected smoking materials, at least one interchangeable injection subassembly for automatically injecting a user selected rosin core material between two layers of smoking materials, at least one interchangeable insertion subassembly for inserting at least one tip coupled to the rosin core rolled smoking product, at least one paper wrapper application roller for rolling and adhering a paper wrapper around the at least one rosin core rolled smoking product, and a rosin core rolling apparatus app for remotely regulating the modular rosin core rolled smoking product apparatus assembly functions and operations.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices and cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridge comprises a mouthpiece having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the mouthpiece having an exit portal defined therethrough, a tank defining a proximal end and a closed distal end, the tank being configured to contain a liquid composition that includes a distinctive characteristic, and a heater configured to heat the liquid composition. The distal end of the mouthpiece is configured to engage the proximal end of the tank, and when the cartridge is coupled with the aerosol delivery device at least one feature of the cartridge, or at least one feature of the control device, or at least one feature of both the cartridge and the control device, provides a visual indication of a color associated with the distinctive characteristic.

Provided are: a fragrance-containing sheet for smoking articles, which includes moisture, modified cellulose, and fragrance such that fragrance can be dissolved at room temperature without a heating process; and a smoking article including the same.

A rod for use in a smoking article comprises a gathered sheet of homogenised tobacco material circumscribed by a wrapper. The sheet of homogenised tobacco material may comprises one or more aerosol-formers and have an aerosol former content of greater than 5% on a dry weight basis or of between 5% and 30% by weight on a dry weight basis. The rod may comprise a continuous element to which one or more additives have been applied, which is incorporated into the gathered continuous sheet of homogenised tobacco material. A method of forming the rod comprises the steps of: providing a continuous sheet of homogenised tobacco material; gathering the continuous sheet of homogenised tobacco material transversely relative to the longitudinal axis thereof; circumscribing the gathered continuous sheet of homogenised tobacco material with a wrapper to form a continuous rod; and severing the continuous rod into a plurality of discrete rods. The sheet of homogenised tobacco material is preferably crimped or otherwise textured.

Organic, fluorescent taggants and compositions thereof which find use in the production, detection and authentication of tobacco products and components thereof. A process for authentication of a tobacco product is also disclosed, the process including the steps of marking the tobacco product with a taggant composition comprising an organic, fluorescent taggant and a carrier for the taggant; irradiating the tobacco product with invisible radiation; and detecting fluorescence from the taggant. Adhesive and ink compositions are also disclosed.

The invention pertains to the technical field of novel tobacco, and in particular relates to a cigarette structure for heat-not-burn cigarettes. A heat-not-burn cigarette comprising: an envelope that is cylindrical and hollow, a cleaning isolation sleeve disposed at a front end of the envelope, and a smoking article zone and a cooling and filtration zone sequentially disposed in the envelope. With the cleaning isolation sleeve, the invention prevents the tobacco shreds from dropping out when a user inserts the heating body into the cigarette, and prevents fine part in the smoking article from falling into the heater during heating, thereby ensuring cleanness of the heater.

The present disclosure relates to aerosol delivery devices and cartridges for aerosol delivery devices. The cartridge comprises a mouthpiece having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the mouthpiece having an exit portal defined therethrough, a tank defining a proximal end and a closed distal end, the tank being configured to contain a liquid composition that includes a distinctive characteristic, and a heater configured to heat the liquid composition. The distal end of the mouthpiece is configured to engage the proximal end of the tank, and when the cartridge is coupled with the aerosol delivery device at least one feature of the cartridge, or at least one feature of the control device, or at least one feature of both the cartridge and the control device, provides a visual indication of a color associated with the distinctive characteristic.

Provided herein is a method of generating aerosol from an aerosol-generating substrate using an aerosol-generating device with at least one heat source disposed to heat, but not burn, the aerosol-generating substrate in use. The aerosol-generating substrate has first and second portions having substantially the same composition, and/or has first and second portions and there is no physical separation between the portions. The method includes heating the aerosol-generating substrate in the aerosol-generating device, so that a temperature profile of the first portion of the aerosol-generating substrate during heating is different from a temperature profile of the second portion of the aerosol-generating substrate.
