A smoking substitute apparatus comprising a flavorant delivery article having a granulated composition comprising a flavorant, a binder and a carrier.

The present disclosure provides various components entrapped within a cross-linked alginate matrix and products including such component-containing, alginate-based matrices. The disclosure also includes a method for entrapping the components, including mixing the component or components with alginate in water, contacting the mixture with a cation to cross-link the alginate, and removing at least a portion of the water therefrom. The resulting component-containing alginate-based material can then be incorporated within various products, e.g., consumable products such as aerosol-generating devices and components, oral products, and conventional smoking articles.

There is provided an aerosolisable formulation comprising (i) water; (ii) one or more flavours to be encapsulated; (iii) one or more encapsulating materials; wherein in the presence of water the energy of binding of the one or more encapsulating materials with the one or more flavours to be encapsulated is from −0.5 to −8 kcal/mol.

Methods and utensils are provided for administering plant extract(s) at controlled amount via smoking, as well as for providing complexes of honey and plant extracts. Plant extract(s) may be used in utensils that are inserted into a smoking appliance, and have indications of the compounds and/or characteristics of the plant extract. Upon smoking the smoking appliance, the plant extracts may be inhaled in pre-defined amounts. Using plant extracts in such way enables standardization of amounts and components thereof, and may be particularly applicable to cannabis oils. Furthermore, complexes of honey and plant extracts may be provided by letting bees step on or be soiled by plant extracts on their way into the beehive, causing them to incorporate the plant extracts into the honey preparation process. Resulting complexes may be a preferable and particularly beneficial way of administering plant extracts, e.g., cannabis extracts.

An additive assembly for an e-vaping device includes an adsorbent material that includes adsorbed carbon dioxide. The additive assembly may be in fluid communication with a vaporizer assembly that forms a generated vapor. The adsorbent material may release the carbon dioxide into the generated vapor based on at least a portion of the generated vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material. The additive assembly may include a flavor material including a flavorant. The adsorbent material may generate heat based on at least a portion of the generated vapor adsorbing on the adsorbent material, and the flavor material may release flavorant into the generated vapor based at least in part on the heat generated by the adsorbent material. One or more of the adsorbent material and the flavor material may be included in beads. Adsorbent material and flavor material may be included in multiple additive structures within the additive assembly.

Disclosed is a copolymer that includes a repeat unit containing a flavorant-containing pendant and a salt-containing repeating unit. In addition, a comestible, a smoking composition, a smoking article, a smokeless tobacco composition and a heatable or combustible product are provided which incorporate one or more of the flavorant-containing copolymer.

The present disclosure provides an aerosol delivery device comprising an aerosol source member. In an example embodiment, an aerosol source member of the present disclosure may comprise a substrate portion comprising a nanocellulose material impregnated with an aerosol precursor composition, a heat source configured to heat the aerosol precursor composition from the substrate portion forming an aerosol, and an aerosol pathway extending from the substrate portion to a mouth-end of the aerosol delivery device.

Electrically heated cigarettes used in an electrical smoking system include a flavoring-release additive and sorbent effective to remove one or more gas-phase constituents of mainstream tobacco smoke. The flavoring-release additive includes gamma cyclodextrin and at least one flavoring. Flavoring is released in a cigarette upon the flavoring-release additive reaching at least a minimum temperature during smoking. The flavoring-release additive can have various forms including, for example, powder and films.
