Improved delivery of additives is provided through encapsulation. The encapsulated additives can be formed by encapsulating additives using co-ionic cross-linking, in-situ overcoating, and/or step-growth overcoating. By encapsulating additives, additives can be made heat and moisture stable and migration and/or loss of the additives within a cigarette, such as an activated carbon containing cigarette, can be reduced.

The present disclosure relates to a cartridge for use in an aerosol delivery device and an aerosol delivery device having the same. The cartridge includes a first reservoir configured to contain an aerosol precursor composition, and an atomizer having a liquid transport element in fluid communication with the first reservoir and a heating element configured to vaporize the aerosol precursor composition transported by the liquid transport element. The cartridge also includes a second reservoir, the second reservoir including two or more separate chambers, wherein at least one of the chambers contains a flavorant. A flow of air is configured to pass adjacent to the atomizer to entrain particles of the aerosol precursor composition that are vaporized by the heating element. The flow of air is also configured to pass at least one of the chambers of the second reservoir to entrain the flavorant of the respective chamber.

A capsule releases an active material when exposed to an alternating magnetic field, and includes a core including the active material and a shell surrounding the core, and at least one of the core and the shell includes at least one susceptor particle that is heated when exposed to the alternating magnetic field.

An apparatus for enrobing a product portion can include at least one polymer spray head adapted to create at least one flow of polymeric fibers to produce at least one polymer enrobing zone and a conveyor system adapted to move at least one product portion from at least one position below at least one polymer enrobing zone and to at least one position above at least one polymer enrobing zone to drop each product portion through one or more polymer enrobing zones a plurality times at different orientations to enrobe each product portion with polymeric fibers.

An aerosolizable formulation comprising (i) water, (ii) nicotine, (iii) at least one acid, and (iv) one or more flavors, and (v) one or more encapsulating materials, wherein the encapsulating material encapsulates at least one of the one or more flavors in preference to protonated nicotine; wherein the molar ratio of (a) encapsulating material encapsulating the one or more flavors to (b) unencapsulated flavors is greater than the molar ratio of (c) encapsulating material encapsulating nicotine to (d) unencapsulated nicotine. A process for forming the aerosolizable formulation, the aerosolizable formulation contained within a container, and an electronic aerosol provision system capable of aerosolizing the aerosolizable formulation for inhalation by a user.

A heated aerosol-generating article including a rod of aerosol-generating substrate is provided, the rod of aerosol-generating substrate including: a first plug of homogenised tobacco material including an aerosol former; and a second plug of homogenised tobacco material including an aerosol former, where the first plug and the second plug are coaxially aligned in an abutting end-to-end relationship, the first plug being disposed downstream of the second plug, where the first plug and the second plug differ from each other in at least one of density and composition of aerosol former, such that the first plug has a lower activation temperature than the second plug, and where, upon heating of the aerosol-generating substrate, the first plug releases aerosol after a shorter time than the second plug.

A portioned moist tobacco product with a super-hydrated membrane coating and method of manufacturing is disclosed. The super-hydrated membrane coating is formed by ionic cross-linking using two polymers. The soluble component of the super-hydrated membrane coating dissolves upon placement in the mouth, while the insoluble component maintains the tobacco within the coating for the duration of the use of the product. The moist tobacco product is soft and flexible so as to fit comfortably in an oral cavity when placed therein.

Heat not burn products comprising an encapsulated aerosol generating agent, the encapsulation having the effect of controlling the release of the agent during use of the heat not burn product. The encapsulation will control the timing of the release of the aerosol generating agent during the use of the heat not burn product, to allow greater control of the puff yield. In the case of some aerosol generating agents, the encapsulation may also increase the stability of the agent and/or prevent its migration within the product.

A melt-blown fabric for pouching smokeless tobacco or a smokeless tobacco substitute can include melt-blown polymer fibers. The fabric can have a basis weight of less than 30 gsm and a tensile strength of at least 4 mJ in at least one predetermined direction. Method of making the fabric can include melt-blowing a polymeric material against a support surface and bonding the fibers or arranging them in a predetermined orientation. Pouched smokeless tobacco or tobacco substitute products including the fabrics provided herein can provide desirable flavor and tactile experience.

An aerosol-generating film having a tobacco content of less than 1 percent by weight is provided, the aerosol-generating film including: a cellulose based film-forming agent; a non-cellulose based thickening agent; water; nicotine; and a polyhydric alcohol, a content of cellulose based film-forming agent being at least about 14 wt percent weight and less than or equal to about 26 wt percent, and a content of water being less than about 30 wt percent and a content of polyhydric alcohol is at least about 30 wt percent.
