Cigarettes are provided which contain a filtering system and flavorants encapsulated with polyvinyl acetate, wherein deactivation of a sorbent by the flavorant is reduced through the encapsulation of the flavorant within the polyvinyl acetate. A preferred flavorant is menthol. The encapsulated flavorants are prepared by mixing at least one flavorant with polyvinyl acetate and a solvent, such as ethanol, and forming the encapsulated flavorants. Methods of making cigarettes and smoking the articles are also provided.

An aerosol-generating article is provided, including: a heat source; an aerosol-forming substrate downstream of the heat source; an airflow-directing element downstream of the substrate, the airflow-directing element including an air-permeable segment defining a cavity; at least one air inlet to allow air to be drawn into the article; and first and second airflow pathways, in which the first airflow pathway extends from the air inlet, through the substrate, and into a distal end of the cavity, in which the second airflow pathway extends from the air inlet, through the air-permeable segment, and into the cavity at a point downstream of the distal end of the cavity, in which the air inlet is located downstream of the distal end of the airflow-directing element, and in which a longitudinal cross-sectional area of the cavity is at least 30 percent of a total longitudinal cross-sectional area of the article.

An article for use in a non-combustible aerosol provision system includes a first aerosol generating material and a component downstream of the first aerosol generating material, wherein the component comprises a tubular portion and wherein the tubular portion comprises a wall comprising a second aerosol generating material. An article is also described including a first aerosol generating material, and a component downstream of the first aerosol generating material, wherein the component comprises a body of material and wherein the body of material comprises a second aerosol generating material. Methods for forming an article and a system are also described.

An article for insertion into an apparatus for heating an aerosol generating material to aerosolize at least one component of the aerosol generating material includes an aerosol generating material and a downstream portion downstream of the aerosol generating material. The downstream portion has at least one ventilation area and a first air flow path is defined in which air drawn through the article at its downstream end passes through the aerosol generating material, and a second air flow path is defined in which air drawn through the article at its downstream end is drawn into the article through the at least one ventilation area in the downstream portion. The resistance to draw of the second air flow path is greater than the resistance to draw of the first air flow path. An article is also provided in which an aerosol generating material is wrapped by a wrapper having a level of permeability greater than about 2000 Coresta Units. An article is also described having a ventilation level of between 40% and 60% ventilation. A system and a method for forming an article are also described.

A device for use while burning smoking material and inhaling the resulting smoke is disclosed. The device can include a filter having a recess formed in a surface of a 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. The device may be received by a first end a tubular member formed to receive a smoking material, that when burned passes smoke into the device.
