An oral product includes a body that is wholly receivable in an oral cavity. The body includes a mouth-stable polymer matrix, exhausted tobacco fibers embedded in the mouth-stable polymer matrix, and an additive dispersed in the mouth-stable polymer matrix. The oral product is adapted to release the additive from the body when the body is received within the oral cavity and exposed to saliva.

A smoking cessation device is disclosed. A biodegradable smoking cessation device is designed to aid in curbing cigarette smoking addiction and address the environmental harms posed by cigarettes. The device comprises a biodegradable reed casing, seed, filters, and food-grade adhesive. Composed of biodegradable materials, this device allows a seed to move in the body of the tube, in between the two filters, when the user inhales. The biodegradable filters are permeable to air flow, and function to stop the seed from escaping the tube. The seed travels upwards and downwards, scarifying the surface of the seed and creating friction which mimics the sensation of smoking a cigarette. After use, the user can break the tube and plant, eat, or discard the seed. This is an environmentally friendly, non-smoking related hobby that has been scientifically shown to reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.

A non-heating type flavor inhalator of the invention includes a hollow cylindrical holder (2) having an ambient air admission opening (16) at a front end thereof and a mouthpiece end (4) at a rear end thereof, and a flavor cartridge (30) extending inside the holder (2) from the ambient air admission opening (16) toward the mouthpiece end (4) along the axis of the holder (2). The flavor cartridge (30) accommodates a flavor generating material (32) containing granular tobacco, and the flavor generating material (32) is kept in a predetermined required compressed state.

Disclosed is a smokeless cigarette system comprising a reusable cigarette tube and a nicotine stick which can be discarded after use. The nicotine stick comprises a depot filter charged with a nanobead solution and nicotine and flavor substances attached thereto or incorporated therein, and a mouthpiece filter, which are joined together and produced at the factory stage. The disclosed smokeless cigarette is particularly suited for use in non-smoking areas to prevent stress caused by nicotine withdrawal and as a cigarette substitute, but can also be used in different types of cigarettes with varied dosage strengths to ensure gentle nicotine withdrawal and smoke disintoxication. Neither the environment nor other persons are harmed of put at risk by this system by either passive smoking or the generation of odour. The system can be handled in a simple and unproblematic manner since no heat source or heating systems are required.
