A smoking system according to the invention includes a smoking substance holding or bowl end and a mouthpiece or tip end. The holding end defines a compartment for holding smoking material. The mouthpiece end defines a smoke egress and a filter or tip piece. The filter or tip piece comprises a compartment for a flavor piece. The flavor piece is crushable and holds a flavoring substance, usually a liquid. A substantial airtight piece conducts smoke from the substance holding end to the mouthpiece end where the smoke egresses. The smoke passes over the activated flavor piece which imparts a secondary flavor on the smoke.

The invention provides a material which comprises a paper substrate and a nonwoven substrate having a low density which can be used as filter for a smoking or vaping article.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a double-layer seamless soft capsule having a water-soluble composition as its fill, and by preparing a capsule shell from an ultraviolet-curing resin composition, a double-layer seamless capsule is made which consists of a capsule shell and a water-soluble composition as a fill and where volatility of the fill due to permeation through the shell is low.

A flavor delivery article is provided including a substantially rod-shaped carrier element and a wrapping element. The wrapping element surrounds at least a portion of the carrier element. The delivery article includes a flavor material within one or both of the carrier element and the wrapping element. The flavor delivery article is adapted for delivery of the flavor material to the mouth of a user under mouth conditions in the absence of combustion or other external heating.

This application provides an areca nut-flavored product, containing an arecoline salt. Because an arecoline salt is used in the product, a user absorbs arecoline when consuming the product, and an effect similar to chewing areca nuts is produced, with relatively little irritation.
