The use of pectins and/or polymers to prevent nicotine oxidation in tobacco containing products is disclosed. These polymers may be naturally occurring anionic polymers or synthetic polymers. These pectins and/or polymers prevent nicotine from oxidizing into cotinine, nicotine-cis-N-oxide, nicotine-trans-N-oxide, and/or nicotine-1,1-di-N-oxide. Molluscicides, algaecides, pesticides, and stabilized nicotine compositions comprising nicotine and pectin, anionic polymers, or combinations thereof are disclosed.

In various embodiments of the present disclosure, vaporizable alkaloid compositions are described that are capable of forming an inhalable vapor when dispensed from an electronic device such as an e-cigarette. The compositions herein comprise a substituted pyridine compound in combination with a chemosensory irritant, which in certain examples comprises a spice additive having a spiciness of from about 1,000 to about 20,000,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). A series of vaporizable alkaloid compositions having decreasing (w/v) amounts of substituted pyridine compound are provided as part of a smoking cessation program.

A shisha, heat-not-burn, or combustion product casing including an active ingredient, a shisha, heat-not-burn, or a combustion product including a casing with an active ingredient, or a method of making the same are disclose herein.

The present invention relates to a method of making a flavored menthol-containing solid object, which can be used as an input material for hot melt application to a smoking article component. The method generally includes the steps of combining and heating menthol and a flavorant to give a molten mixture; depositing the molten mixture onto a surface; allowing the deposited molten mixture to cool to give a solidified mixture; and removing the solidified mixture from the surface to afford a flavored menthol-containing solid object. The method can further involve melting the solid object and applying the melted material to a smoking article component to modify the flavor/aroma profile of a smoking article into which the coated component is incorporated.

There is provided a nicotine solution, including a carrier; nicotine in unprotonated form and in protonated form; and one or more acids, wherein at least benzoic acid, levulinic acid or a mixture thereof is present; and wherein the total content of acid present in the solution is no greater than 0.6 mole equivalents based on the nicotine.

Provided are an aerosol generating article and an aerosol generating system using the same. The aerosol generating article includes a first portion containing a mouthpiece portion; and a second portion that is arranged adjacent to the first portion and includes a capsule, wherein the capsule includes a core region, a first shell, and a second shell, and the core region of the capsule includes nicotine and an aerosol generating material.

The present invention relates to a dispensing arrangement (1), or to an e-cigarette (100) containing such a dispensing arrangement, for treating a flow of vaporized liquid provided via a flow channel (3) of an e-cigarette, comprising a dispensing unit (10) for adding an additional composition into the flow of vaporized liquid of the e-cigarette, and a composition reservoir (2) for retaining the additional composition, wherein the dispensing unit is in communication with a composition reservoir and in communication with the flow channel, wherein the composition reservoir is arranged separately to the flow channel, and wherein the dispensing arrangement is adapted to temper the vaporized liquid and/or the additional composition to a temperature of below 40 C. or below 35 C. before adding the additional composition into the flow of vaporized liquid, as well as methods for the oral intake of compositions, particularly those comprising temperature-sensitive compounds or compounds insoluble in the liquid carrier, such as certain anti-aging compounds, by virtue of an e-cigarette comprising said dispensing arrangement. The present invention also relates to uses of said dispensing arrangement or of an e-cigarette comprising said dispensing arrangement for the oral intake of additional compositions comprising at least one anti-aging compound to a user.

The present disclosure relates to a novel flavoring agent, a flavoring agent composition, and an article including the same, and more particularly, to a flavoring agent as a compound that includes a moiety derived from a sugar compound and a moiety derived from a flavoring compound in a basic backbone and is pyrolyzed into a lactone compound, a sugar compound, and a flavoring compound upon pyrolysis, and a composition and an article including the same.

Provided here is a smokeless tobacco product, comprising a tobacco composition and an encapsulating composition coating the tobacco composition, wherein the encapsulating composition comprises methyl salicylate, and also a method for producing the smokeless tobacco product. Further provided is a tobacco product package, comprising a casing comprising an outer rim, and a removable lid enclosing the outer rim of the casing, wherein the outer rim is coated with a coating layer comprising methyl salicylate, and also a method for producing the tobacco product package.
